Pedestrian accidents often injure those who are most vulnerable — school children walking to and from school, or elderly persons trying to cross busy streets. Another common type of pedestrian accident occurs when a car hits a pedestrian in the crosswalk because the driver is looking at traffic, and not at the pedestrian.

The seriousness of pedestrian injuries depends upon how fast the car was traveling. Leg injuries can range from torn cartilage and tendons to broken bones (fractures of the kneecap (patella), tibia and fibula of the lower leg, and femur in the upper leg). If the pedestrian is thrown into the air, injuries can include brain damage, herniated discs, internal injuries to the kidney or spleen, and liver lacerations.

Pedestrian accidents are almost always very serious. As a result, it’s extremely important to obtain full financial compensation so the injured person can receive the medical care and rehabilitation services they will need.

Thousands of people are killed on the streets of this country every year by vehicles. This is a frightening thought and one that should make you think twice before the next time you cross the street. Pedestrian injuries are very common, especially if you live in an urban area, and are something that requires legal representation. If you have been subject to a pedestrian injury, call our pedestrian accident attorneys as soon as possible.

The one major mistake that most people make when they are hit by a vehicle is that they fail to secure the services of an attorney. They may assume that the accident was actually their fault, or they feel that since they weren’t hurt they have no need for a lawyer. But, no accident is minor, and you need someone who can help you learn your rights.

Many pedestrian injuries do result in long-term problems, even if they seem superficial, and if you make the mistake of not seeing a lawyer quickly, your evidence may be gone.
