Washington Post Reports on Pedestrian Dangers in Washington, DC

By David M. Schloss
Attorney

The Washington Post recently reported on a spate of pedestrian automobile accidents in the Washington, D.C. area, several of which resulted in fatalities. Many of these types of accidents are due to driver inattentiveness, carelessness, or other acts of negligence on the part of the driver. The Post article generated interesting feedback from its readers, including the story of one woman who herself was a pedestrian-car accident victim. She blamed not just the driver of the vehicle that struck her, but also the DC police and the city for failing to make its intersections safe for pedestrians.
