Crosswalk"},"content":{"rendered":"<h2>A pedestrian hit by a car in Washington, D.C., has certain rights against the other driver and the driver\u2019s insurance company.<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"63\" data-end=\"395\">If you were hit by a car while walking in Washington, D.C., you may be entitled to compensation\u2014and you don\u2019t have to face the insurance company alone. Whether the crash happened in a marked crosswalk in Adams Morgan, near Union Station, or at an unmarked intersection in Northeast, D.C. law protects pedestrians in many situations.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"397\" data-end=\"615\">Drivers are required to yield to people in crosswalks\u2014even those without painted lines at intersections. And at traffic lights, pedestrians must follow the walk signal and avoid crossing mid-block or against the light.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"617\" data-end=\"730\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Understanding these rules is the first step toward protecting your rights after a serious injury in the District.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tonNwyWShtY?si=Jna-x9aCQ1wfQ-06\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>We help a lot of people in Washington, D.C. who were seriously hurt while walking or biking. Many of these crashes happen because a driver wasn&#8217;t paying attention, didn\u2019t yield, or ran a red light. One of the first questions in these cases is often: who was responsible?<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"512\" data-end=\"549\">Why Witnesses and Evidence Matter<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"551\" data-end=\"792\">If you&#8217;re badly injured and taken away in an ambulance, it can be hard to get witness names or details. But that information can be key to proving your case. Police should collect this at the scene\u2014but unfortunately, they don\u2019t always do it.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"794\" data-end=\"1007\">That\u2019s why it helps to have a lawyer right away. We know how to investigate and track down important evidence\u2014like surveillance footage from nearby stores or red light camera video that shows what really happened.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"1009\" data-end=\"1056\">D.C. Law Changed to Protect People Like You<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"1058\" data-end=\"1395\">Nearly 10 years ago, D.C. changed the law to help pedestrians and cyclists get compensation if they\u2019re hurt. Today, if you&#8217;re hit by a car in D.C., you can recover damages as long as you weren\u2019t mostly at fault. That\u2019s a big shift from how other injury cases work in D.C., where even a small mistake could keep you from getting anything.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1580\" data-end=\"1642\">We\u2019ll Deal With the Insurance Company\u2014You Focus on Healing<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1644\" data-end=\"1853\">Drivers in D.C. often speed, ignore crosswalks, and run lights. If you\u2019re recovering from surgery, therapy, or can\u2019t work, the last thing you need is to fight with an insurance company. We\u2019ll handle that part.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1855\" data-end=\"1961\">After one phone call, you\u2019ll see how we take the stress off your plate so you can focus on getting better.<\/p>\n<p>If you were hit by a car in D.C., <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/calendly.com\/clientexperience\/15min?month=2023-05\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>click here for a same-day consultation<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/span> Reach us at<span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #3366ff;\"> <strong><a style=\"color: #3366ff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"tel:202-393-3320\">202-393-3320<\/a><\/strong><\/span> or email <span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #3366ff;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #3366ff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"mailto:info@dkllp.com\">info@dkllp.com<\/a><\/strong><\/span> \u2014we\u2019re here to help you recover your rights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A pedestrian hit by a car in Washington, D.C., has certain rights against the other driver and the driver\u2019s insurance company.
