November 2nd: Pedestrian Accidents l Seattle Crosswalk Accident Lawyer

As the clocks move back an hour at the end of daylight savings time , pedestrian collisions, crosswalk accidents, personal injury and wrongful death cases involving motor vehicles are more likely to occur.

According to a CNN report, pedestrians walking at dusk are three times more likely to be struck by a car than before the clocks moved back.

The highest risk for pedestrians occurs around 6pm during the month of November. This risk decreases each month until May, when the spring time change and longer days cause pedestrian deaths to drop dramatically. Reports show that it is not the actual dark that causes these pedestrian-car accidents, it is the drivers' adjustments to the earlier darkness.

Drivers: Be on the lookout for pedestrians as you drive at dusk and after dark.
Pedestrians: Take extra care to make sure that drivers can see you.

The pedestrian accident attorneys at the Davis Law Group frequently handle injury cases and wrongful death cases that are the result of a pedestrian accident
