    On a roadway, pedestrians enjoy the same rights as drivers, bicyclist, and motorcyclists, even though they are walking to their destinations rather than driving. Further, pedestrians often often enjoy designated walking spaces, such as sidewalks and crosswalks, which give pedestrians the right to expect that drivers of all sorts will respect their right-of-way and their right to walk. When carless drivers violate the rules of the road causing a pedestrian accidents, a pedestrian can seek financial compensation and help through a personal injury claim.
