Frequently Asked Questions
What usually causes pedestrian accidents?
Pedestrian crashes commonly result from drivers failing to yield, pedestrians crossing outside marked areas, distraction, poor visibility, or impairment on the part of either party. Each incident depends on its own facts and investigation.
Does vehicle speed affect how badly a pedestrian is hurt?
Yes. Higher speeds give drivers less time to stop and increase the force of impact, which generally raises the risk of serious injury or death to a pedestrian.
Are pedestrian accidents more likely at night?
Reduced visibility after dark is a factor in many pedestrian crashes, especially on roads without good lighting or marked crosswalks.
