Why Do Pedestrian Accidents Happen?

Pedestrian accidents can occur for many reasons. When pedestrians cross the street, drivers may fail to yield and crash into them, causing severe injury. In some cases, pedestrian accidents happen when cars drive up onto sidewalks or pedestrian areas. Pedestrians can also collide with bicycles, motorcycles and even trucks.

There many common causes for pedestrian accidents, including:

  • Drunk driving
  • Distracted driving
  • Illegal turns
  • Poorly marked crosswalks or walking areas
  • Poorly divided areas for pedestrians
  • Lack of proper sidewalks or pedestrian areas
  • Poorly trained drivers

Everyone has a responsibility to make the roads safe. When the users of roads are not careful about pedestrians and others who share roadways, they can be held liable for the injuries they cause.

Why Contact an Attorney?

Pedestrian accidents are complex for a few reasons. Pedestrians are not covered by car accident insurance because they are not driving at the time of the incident. This can mean only one car accident insurance company is involved, and an attorney can help pedestrians who have been injured negotiate effectively with the insurer.

Because cars are so powerful, injuries resulting from pedestrian accidents can be catastrophic. Fractures, brain injuries, soft tissue injuries, amputations, spinal cord trauma and other severe and permanent injuries are not uncommon in these types of collisions. In many cases, insurers will work hard to ensure they don’t have to pay too much for injured parties’ costs. Having a personal injury attorney by your side ensures you have someone who is fighting for your rights so you will not have to pay more out-of-pocket than you need to.
