Pedestrian Accidents

No one is more vulnerable on the roads than a pedestrian. Driver inattention is the leading cause of cars colliding with pedestrians. Drivers have a responsibility to be careful and watchful when pedestrians are present, but that is not always the case. The most common pedestrian accident occurs on crosswalks when cars make right turns through intersections. When a pedestrian is hit by a motor vehicle, the injuries are almost always serious and life changing.
