Pedestrians struck by vehicles frequently suffer head trauma, broken bones, internal injuries and spinal damage. The severity usually depends on the vehicle's speed and point of impact.
What are the most common causes of pedestrian accidents?
Driver impairment, distracted driving, failure to yield at intersections, and pedestrians crossing outside marked crosswalks or against signals are common contributing factors.
