What happens in a vehicle-pedestrian accident?

If the pedestrian was killed during the accident the driver may be convicted of vehicular manslaughter. If there is evidence that the pedestrian was performing an illegal crossing such as jaywalking, the driver may not be charged for hitting him or her. However, the details of pedestrian – vehicle accidents can vary widely from case to case, so it is important to speak with an experienced car accident attorney about the details of your specific situation.
