What Should Pedestrians Know After Being Struck by a Vehicle?
Pedestrians face a greater risk of serious harm because they have little protection against a moving vehicle. Injuries can range from cuts and bruises to broken bones or more severe trauma, depending on how the person was struck and where they landed.
After a pedestrian is hit, medical evaluation can help identify injuries that may not be obvious at first. Pain, swelling, dizziness, or difficulty moving may develop later. Photos of the location, vehicle damage, traffic signals, crosswalk markings, and lighting can also help document what occurred. Witness accounts may provide additional details about vehicle speed, pedestrian movement, and traffic conditions. Drivers and pedestrians can reduce risks by staying alert, following signals, using marked crossings when available, and avoiding distractions near traffic.
