What if I was not in a crosswalk in Atlantic City, or if I was crossing against a “Don’t Walk” sign when the car hit me?

You may still have a strong case for damages, and should talk to our experienced Atlantic City pedestrian accident injury lawyers right away.

It’s true that, as a pedestrian, you should use crosswalks and obey traffic signals. Like anyone, you have a duty not to take actions that endanger others. Failing to follow traffic laws and putting yourself in potential danger could affect the amount of money you may have the right to receive.

Still, drivers in New Jersey never have the right to run you over, and always have an obligation to operate their vehicles in a manner that avoids collisions with pedestrians. So, even if you were crossing traffic against a light or outside of a crosswalk, you can still have the right to take legal action seeking significant compensation for your injuries and losses.
