Common Ways Pedestrians Are Injured
Some common causes of pedestrian accidents include:
- Drunk drivers
- Texting while driving
- Distracted drivers
- Drivers failing to follow traffic laws
- Drivers failing to yield to pedestrians
- Drivers speeding
If a motorist does not check his blind spots before reversing from a parking space, does not check to see if a pedestrian is crossing the street before making a turn or loses control and veers into a sidewalk, a serious pedestrian accident may occur.

The last thing an injured pedestrian should have to worry about is how he or she will pay medical bills and living expenses while injured, especially if the accident was caused by a hit and run driver.

By placing your case in the hands of a competent and compassionate attorney, you can focus on recovering physically and mentally.
