“Pedestrians Don’t Come With Airbags!” – Safety Slogan 

Toronto personal injury lawyers Singh Barristers know from experience that accidents can happen anywhere. People walking on the street can be knocked down by a speeding/drunken driver running a red-light. Others walking on the pavement may slip and fall because of a puddle of water pooled under a building’s air-conditioning unit. 

Often, major injuries result from such accidents. 

Such accidents have a serious impact on not just the person who was injured, but also on their families. 

Injuries mean: 

• Time out from work/school/house-hold duties
• Loss of income/wages/earning-capacity
• Hefty medical and rehabilitation bills
• Pain and suffering 

In the case of very severe injuries, the victim may suffer disability, disfigurement or even death.

It’s important to understand that most accidents are preventable and avoidable. They’re usually caused by someone else’s fault or negligence.

Contact the nearest personal injury lawyer in Toronto if you or a dear one has been injured in an accident. You may be entitled to compensation.

Pedestrian Rights in Ontario

Ontario laws provide certain rights to pedestrians. As of January 1, 2016, all drivers, including bicyclists, have to yield the entire roadway at pedestrian and school crossings and other crossings where there is a crossing-guard. These rules are not applicable at traffic-signs or stop signs where there is no crossing-guard.

Drivers and pedestrians both have a duty to remain safe and ensure the safety of other road users.

In general, pedestrians have right of way, as our experienced Toronto personal injury lawyers are aware. However, they are also expected to abide by the rules. Jaywalking is prohibited throughout the province.

An experienced Toronto car accident lawyer can evaluate your case and advise you on the way forward, if your accident happened due to a motor-vehicle driver’s fault or negligence.
