Webster residents often experience pedestrian risk in predictable settings:
- Intersections with heavy turning traffic: Drivers turning across crosswalks may claim they “didn’t see” you—so visibility, timing, and line-of-sight become critical.
- Commute-hour congestion: When traffic is dense, drivers may brake late, fail to yield, or miss a pedestrian due to distraction and limited sight lines.
- Roadways with changing lighting: Evening visibility near commercial corridors and residential edges can affect whether a driver exercised reasonable caution.
- Construction and detours: Temporary signage, lane shifts, and altered pedestrian paths can create confusion about where someone should be walking.
Your case often turns on details like how long the driver had to react, whether traffic control devices were functioning as expected, and how the roadway environment affected what a reasonable driver should have noticed.
