INJURED AS A PEDESTRIAN? LET US HELP YOU
In a Vehicle vs. Pedestrian collision, the pedestrian never wins. The injuries a pedestrian can suffer in a collision with a vehicle tend to be very severe and life-altering. In too many cases, a pedestrian hit by a vehicle can result in a life cut abruptly short, and a grieving family seeking answers for the wrongful death of a loved one. In other instances, the pedestrian suffers grave injuries and goes through a recovery process that is long, painful, and expensive. Many times, the pedestrian never fully recovers and is forced to live the rest of his life with the negative consequences of the injuries. Children are especially at risk and their lower stature make children less visible. Children are also less likely to accurately judge the speed and distances of oncoming vehicles. Many pedestrian fatalities for young children, occur when children are returning from school, or walking to after-school lessons or sports practice.
CAUSES OF PEDESTRIAN INJURIES
Pedestrians can follow every rule of the road – staying on the sidewalk, crossing in the crosswalk, crossing when they have the right of way – and still be injured by vehicles and cyclists. The most common cause of pedestrian injuries is distracted driving, but there are a number of other causes, including:
Drivers speeding through a red light
Intoxicated drivers or drivers under the influence
Drivers texting or on their phone
Poor lighting or other defects with the road or crosswalk design
Illegally parked vehicles blocking pedestrian visibility
Drivers speeding through a red light
