Can I Be Compensated if I Was Jaywalking in Huntsville

Even if you were not in a crosswalk, you may still have a valid pedestrian accident claim in Alabama. Many people assume that jaywalking automatically prevents recovery—but that is not true.

Alabama law requires drivers to exercise reasonable care to avoid hitting pedestrians at all times. If a driver was speeding, distracted, impaired, or otherwise negligent, they can still be held responsible.

Insurance companies often try to deny claims by blaming pedestrians. An experienced Huntsville pedestrian accident lawyer can investigate the crash, gather evidence, and fight to prove the driver was at fault.

If you were injured while a pedestrian crossing the street outside a crosswalk, don’t assume you have no case. Call Ferguson & Ferguson at 256-534-3435 for a free consultation.
