Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrian accidents often occur due to driver negligence or unsafe conditions. Common causes include:
- Distracted Driving: Drivers using phones or other devices instead of watching the road.
- Failure to Yield: Ignoring crosswalks or pedestrian right-of-way laws.
- Speeding: Making it impossible to stop in time for pedestrians.
- Running Red Lights or Stop Signs: Failing to follow traffic control devices.
- Driving Under the Influence: Alcohol or drug impairment reducing reaction times.
- Poor Visibility: Low light, weather conditions, or obstructions making pedestrians difficult to see.
- Unsafe Parking Lot Practices: Drivers backing up without checking for pedestrians.
If negligence caused your pedestrian accident, we are here to hold the responsible parties accountable.
Common Injuries in Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrian accidents can result in life-altering injuries, given the lack of protection for those on foot. Common injuries include:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Broken bones and fractures
- Internal injuries and organ damage
- Severe cuts, bruises, and lacerations
- Whiplash and soft tissue injuries

- Drivers: For reckless, distracted, or impaired driving.
- Property Owners: For unsafe conditions, such as unmarked crosswalks or poor lighting.
- Government Entities: For hazardous road designs or lack of signage.
- Other Pedestrians or Cyclists: If their actions contributed to the accident.
