When a pedestrian is hit and killed, investigators usually examine the Pedestrian Right-of-Way Law. This law mandates that drivers take necessary precautions to prevent striking pedestrians crossing the street and to reduce speed when pedestrians are nearby. Investigators will probably evaluate the lighting, traffic conditions, and visibility during the time of the accident. If the driver left the scene or did not offer help, the Hit-and-Run Statute would come into effect.
