What Happens When a Pedestrian Is Hit by a Vehicle?
Pedestrian accidents can cause injuries ranging from minor cuts and bruises to serious harm involving the head, spine, or limbs. Even when a person remains conscious and can walk after being hit, some injuries may not become obvious right away. Medical evaluation can help identify problems that are not easy to see immediately.
Information commonly reviewed after a pedestrian accident includes photographs, vehicle damage, traffic signals, crosswalk markings, and statements from people who saw what happened. Video from nearby businesses or traffic systems may also provide useful details. Weather, lighting, and visibility can help establish what drivers and pedestrians could see before the contact occurred.
