Virginia law provides many protections to a pedestrian. For instance, a pedestrian has the right of way at all intersections where the speed limit is 35 miles per hour or less. However, such protections are useless when the pedestrian steps into the path of oncoming traffic at night while wearing dark clothing. Tragically, such was the case in Charlottesville in the Pantops area. In addition, published reports indicate that the pedestrian had consumed alcohol before the accident. The lessons to be learned from this incident are obvious. The effects of the tragedy will probably remain a mystery to most of us. I am currently handling a pedestrian case with facts that are quite the opposite of this case. And, my client survuved to tell what happened.
