Folks don't often realize just how complex pedestrian incidents can be. They think it all comes down to right of way, but that's not always the most important factor. It is obviously relevant, but so are things like visibility, vehicle speeds, potential distraction, lighting, and even the design of the roadway or intersection. It's always aggravating when families come to me with police investigations which essentially just ignored what happened to their loved one because they didn't think it was a high priority. As far as I'm concerned, someone looking for answers about what happened to their loved one should always be a priority.
