Pedestrian Accidents
Among the most serious traffic accidents
are those involving pedestrians because pedestrians are
completely vulnerable to serious or fatal injuries when struck
by a moving vehicle. Human flesh and bone is no match for a
vehicle’s mass and structural strength. Even a slow-moving
vehicle can cause fractures
and major injuries to a pedestrian.
According to the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration pedestrian fatalities accounted
for over 11 percent of all fatalities resulting from motor
vehicle crashes in 2002. In fact, from 1975 to 2002 over
166,000 pedestrians were killed in the United States. Speeding, increased traffic volume,
driving |
under the influence of alcohol, illegal turns, increasing
inconsideration for pedestrians, SUV’s, and the use of cell phones
are all factors contributing to the problem.
Driver negligence can often be attributed to many pedestrian
accidents and "who was at fault" is frequently disputed. If you are
a pedestrian who has been injured by a vehicle, you may have the
right to recover money against the negligent driver for your damages
including medical costs, pain and suffering, lost wages and future
losses.
