Pedestrian Accidents

Unlike more common auto accidents, pedestrian and bicycle accidents can be especially devastating for the victim. The pedestrian unfortunately does not have the protection that the automobile offers and this can result in major injuries, including:

  • Fractures
  • Soft tissue trauma
  • Internal damage
  • Head and brain trauma
  • Neck and Back Injuries

In many severe pedestrian accidents, the trauma can even result in paralysis or death. Unfortunately, like in most accidents, the true extent of the personal injuries resulting from a pedestrian accident may not be immediately known.

Every driver on the road has a personal responsibility to drive safely and defensively. Unfortunately, many drivers follow regulations. Many common causes for pedestrian accidents include:

  • Speeding
  • Failure to stop/yield
  • Distractions (eating, tuning the radio or talking on a cell phone)
