Every year approximately 5,000 pedestrians are killed in motor vehicle collisions in the United States. There a many possible causes for bicycle and pedestrian deaths but our personal injury lawyers too have noted a high number of pedestrian deaths in Prince George's County, one of which Rod Gaston from our office will be taking to trial this spring in Prince George's County Circuit Court. Flaws in road design contribute to many of these deadly collisions but the primary culpability usually rests with the driver or the pedestrian.
