If you have been involved in a pedestrian accident, you may have physical injuries ranging from sprains and fractures to multi-organ trauma or even serious brain injury . You may also face prolonged emotional distress as a result of this traumatic experience. Both physical and emotional injuries can lead to lost wages, medical bills, or insurance claim disputes.

Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents

If you have been injured by a motor vehicle, a John Bales Attorneys pedestrian accident lawyer can help you understand your legal options. Several common factors contribute to pedestrian accidents, including:

  • Failure to Yield at an Intersection or Crosswalk: As a pedestrian, you have the right of way at intersections, driveways, and legal crosswalks. Drivers who do not exercise care at these locations run the risk of endangering or injuring pedestrians.
  • Reversing into a Pedestrian: Parking lot pedestrian injuries are not uncommon. These accident often occur when a driver backs out of a parking space and is distracted, doesn’t check for pedestrians while reversing, or simply doesn’t see a pedestrian while backing up.
  • Passing a Vehicle Stopped at a Crosswalk: Some accidents occur when many pedestrians would least expect it—while crossing a legal crosswalk in front of a stopped vehicle. These accidents occur as a result of drivers approaching from behind the stopped vehicle who may not see the pedestrians crossing the street.
