What Happens When a Pedestrian Is Hit on a Highway?
Pedestrian accidents on highways can be especially dangerous because vehicles usually travel at high speeds and have limited time to react to someone in or near travel lanes. Drivers are expected to remain alert and watch for people who may be crossing or walking near traffic.
Visibility can also affect a pedestrian’s safety, particularly during early morning or nighttime hours. Poor lighting, weather, road design, and traffic conditions may make it harder for drivers to see someone ahead.
After a pedestrian is struck, information such as roadway conditions, vehicle damage, photographs, witness accounts, and available video footage may help establish what happened. Medical records can also document the seriousness of any injuries when a person survives.
