Pedestrian Accidents in Wisconsin
Pedestrian incidents that occur following an initial crash can be especially dangerous, as drivers and passengers may be focused on the accident scene and less aware of surrounding traffic. Exiting a vehicle on a busy roadway, even after a minor collision, places individuals at high risk of being struck by passing motorists.
In Wisconsin, pedestrian safety laws require drivers to exercise caution when approaching accident scenes and to be prepared to stop for people outside their vehicles. Similarly, safety officials advise crash victims to remain inside their vehicles whenever possible and to move to a safe location off the roadway before exiting.
Local Accident Reports urges both drivers and passengers to prioritize safety after an accident by activating hazard lights, staying in the vehicle until help arrives, and wearing high-visibility clothing if it’s necessary to exit. If you or someone you know has been injured in a pedestrian accident, resources are available to assist with medical recovery, transportation, and navigating insurance claims.
