Pedestrian accidents occur when a person on foot is struck by a vehicle, often resulting in severe or fatal injuries due to their vulnerability. These accidents are commonly caused by distracted driving, speeding, failure to yield, or impaired driving, and they frequently happen at crosswalks, intersections, or in parking lots. Pedestrians involved in such accidents may suffer broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, or internal injuries, leading to extensive medical treatment and long-term recovery. Victims or their families may pursue a personal injury claim to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. Holding negligent drivers accountable not only helps victims recover but also promotes safer driving practices to prevent future pedestrian accidents.
