Hit a pedestrian?

by CrazedEpidemic » Mon May 04, 2009 02:18 am

I am in NYC and as most people know pedestrians sometimes jay walk and cross the street where they are not supposed to.

If I was to hit a pedestrian that was jay walking and ran into the street would I be held liable?

Or is the driver always responsible to make sure that no one gets hit?

depending on your state’s parental liability laws, you could conceivably be responsible for any damages to the vehicle.


This is an important point. Parental negligence can overshadow a multitude of children's "sins". Those are claims for one's homeowner's insurance.
