How Pedestrians Get Injured
Car drivers who are speeding, using their phone, fidgeting with the radio, or are otherwise distracted or reckless may strike a pedestrian who is in their path. Pedestrians are at a grave disadvantage if they are in an accident with a moving vehicle. Car manufacturers have diligently improved safety features for drivers, with seat belts, safer airbags, and crash avoidance systems. But pedestrians do not get this same advantage as they are exposed and unprotected from the force of impact. In the event of an accident between a vehicle and pedestrian, the latter tends to sustain serious injuries such as:
- Spinal cord damage
- Broken bones
- Leg and knee injury
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Internal bleeding
- Nerve damage
- Torn ligaments
- Severe bruising and lacerations
Pedestrian Accident Liability
The severity of the injuries that a pedestrian sustains will depend on the vehicle speed, angle of impact, part of the body struck, car design, and where the accident happened. The driver at fault should be liable for the medical care costs, loss of wages, property damage, and other losses that the victim experience. An injured pedestrian seeking compensation will have to show evidence that the driver was negligent. Our dedicated pedestrian accident attorney can help you gather proof to show that the driver was:
- Exceeding the speed limit
- Driving while fatigued or under the influence
- Engaging in reckless behavior
- Operating a vehicle while using a cell phone
- Otherwise being negligent when in the presence of a pedestrian
