Pedestrian Accident Injuries

Pedestrian accidents are often overlooked typically because the person that was hit by the vehicle hardly report their accidents. Many people do not consider the dangers before they decide to walk near the busy road. Even if a pedestrian and is safely obeying all laws while walking, they are in no control and cannot predict the actions of a motor vehicle.

Again, as mentioned on our other pages, distracted drivers are the leading cause of pedestrian accidents. Another cause of pedestrian accidents is confused drivers. Drivers that are driving in a new area, or a one-way street, and essentially taking their attention away from the road to focus on where their destination is. It is also very common for pedestrians to feel ashamed, or embarrassed, that they were just hit by a vehicle. Please know that although you may feel ashamed, you may have a legal recourse.
