What Happens After a Pedestrian-Motorist Collision?
Pedestrian-motorist collisions can involve several factors that help explain how the injuries occurred. Investigators may review traffic signals, crosswalk markings, lighting, visibility, and the positions of the people and vehicles involved. Photos of vehicle damage and nearby property can also help document what occurred.
Witness statements may provide information about traffic movement, pedestrian activity, and what happened immediately before the collision. In some cases, video from nearby businesses, traffic cameras, or other sources can provide additional details.
