What Happens When a Pedestrian Is Struck by a Vehicle?
Pedestrian accidents can cause serious injuries because people have little protection from a moving vehicle. The severity of harm can depend on factors such as vehicle speed, the point of contact, and whether the person falls onto the pavement.
Medical evaluations may include checks for broken bones, head injuries, cuts, and other trauma. Some injuries may not become obvious immediately, so continued medical observation can be necessary.
Drivers and pedestrians both have responsibilities for reducing the risk of these accidents. Drivers should watch for people crossing or walking near travel lanes, while pedestrians should use marked crossings when available and remain alert to traffic.
