Pedestrians and Liability: Is the Driver Always at Fault When a Pedestrian Is Struck?
The short answer to the question posed above is yes, the pedestrian can be considered liable when they are hit by a car. However, there are very narrow circumstances in which you can prove a pedestrian liable for this type of accident. You must be able to prove that the pedestrian was negligent in some way, and that negligence directly led to them being struck by the vehicle.
