What Factors Can Make Pedestrian Crashes Serious?

Pedestrians have little physical protection when a vehicle strikes them. Injury severity can depend on vehicle speed, the direction of contact, and where the person is positioned when the vehicle reaches them.

Visibility can also affect pedestrian safety. Poor lighting, traffic, parked vehicles, and distractions may make it harder for drivers to see people near or crossing a roadway.

Drivers should reduce speed in areas with pedestrian activity and remain alert near crossings and intersections. Pedestrians can improve safety by using marked crossings, following signals, and staying aware of nearby traffic.

1Seek treatment promptly after being injured in an accident. Your first priority should always be your health. Many providers offer treatment on a lien basis, meaning you can get the care you need now and pay later when your claim is resolved.
2Before speaking with an insurance company, make sure you have the facts. An official police report is the most reliable record of what happened and can help establish liability An experienced attorney can assist you in obtaining this report and using it to protect your interests.
3Consider having your case reviewed by a qualified attorney who can guide you through the next steps. They will safeguard your rights and pursue the compensation you deserve.

Focus on your recovery and
let trusted professionals handle the rest
