Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents

All too often, pedestrians are hit by drivers who fail to exercise proper caution on the road. Some accidents may involve an extenuating circumstance, such as glare, adverse climate, or bad road conditions; but many can be explained by the driver’s own mistakes such as:

• Speeding
• Driving while intoxicated
• Distracted driving
• Failing to address stop or slow signs, school zones, and crosswalks
• Trying to pass a stopped school bus

Pedestrians can do their part to protect themselves by being alert and making themselves more visible but there isn’t much they can do against a moving vehicle with a negligent driver behind the wheel.

Treatment for Injured Pedestrians

When a car, truck, or commercial vehicle hits a pedestrian or bicyclist, the results are often catastrophic, if not fatal.  Accident victims commonly suffer life-threatening injuries such as spinal cord injuries and amputations.  Due to the severity of the injuries sustained in pedestrian accidents, victims often face a lifetime of medical care. Long-term care needs are extremely expensive.  Rehabilitation, physical therapy,numerous surgeries, and doctor’s visits add up to a heavy burden for anyone injured in a pedestrian accident.  Filing suit against the driver who caused the collision is essential for your future.

• Past and future medical care expenses
• Past and future lost wages and earning capacity
• Past and future pain
• Suffering and loss of enjoyment of life
• Loss of consortium with a spouse
