Posted by orange blossom special on Fri Jan 12 11:39:13 2007, in response to Re: He was in my class, posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Fri Jan 12 11:21:24 2007. Re-reading it, it doesn't give an detailed accident discription. But in a class I learned if a pedestrian darts out of nowhere, inbetween cars, or not from the curb(even though jaywalking is usually safest), the ped is at fault. I assume this is universal. NY is a no-fault state right?There's a detail missing in this story. How fast was this street? Why's it sound as if the car was going fast? Did the car come out of nowhere speeding around a corner or something? Even if he wasn't paying attention and stepped into traffic, it sounds like there was a lot of force there. Sorry for playing detective, I assume life-long pedestrians will at least give a glance at traffic, and it sounds like there was a lot of airtime at impact from the quotes. And cars like to speed. but it's possible both could've made a mistake too. |
