Pedestrian Accidents

Any accident involving a pedestrian and a motor vehicle, bicycle, or another pedestrian is considered a pedestrian accident. These accidents typically occur when a pedestrian is struck by a vehicle while walking, jogging, or crossing the street. A pedestrian accident can result in a wide range of injuries, from minor cuts and bruises to severe trauma and fatalities. Many factors may contribute to pedestrian accidents, such as driver negligence, speeding, distracted driving, failure to yield, poor visibility, pedestrian error, or unsafe road conditions.
