Pedestrian Auto Accidents

The Basics

Pedestrian Auto Accidents

At some point, every day, almost everyone in the United States is a pedestrian. Whether you walk to school or work or are simply walking from your parking spot to a building, you probably find yourself as a pedestrian at some point. Unfortunately, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, pedestrians continue to see an increase in traffic fatalities.

Pedestrian-auto accidents tend to result in serious injuries due to the nature of a large vehicle colliding with an individual. Unlike the person in the car, pedestrians have little to no protection or barrier between themselves and the vehicle. The injuries suffered by pedestrians can be severe and may include broken bones and fractures, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and even death.
