Pedestrians Are Vulnerable to Serious Injuries

Pedestrians face significant risks when sharing the road with vehicles. Unlike drivers, pedestrians have little to no protection, making even low-speed collisions potentially catastrophic. When a vehicle strikes a pedestrian, the consequences can be life-altering. Some common injuries sustained in pedestrian accidents include:

  • Abrasions and lacerations: These occur when pedestrians are dragged across the pavement, leading to painful and potentially scarring injuries.
  • Muscle and tendon injuries: These injuries can result in chronic pain and limit mobility over the long term.
  • Neck and back injuries: The impact of a crash can lead to serious spinal injuries, causing lasting discomfort and disability.
  • Fractures: Broken bones, particularly in the limbs, can impair mobility and may require surgical intervention to heal.
  • Concussions and brain injuries: These injuries range from mild concussions to severe traumatic brain injuries, which can affect memory, coordination, and overall well-being.
  • Facial injuries: Impacts can result in broken or lost teeth, necessitating emergency and long-term dental care.
  • Internal injuries: Damage to internal organs may not be immediately visible but can become life-threatening without prompt medical attention.
  • Spinal cord damage: Injuries to the spinal cord can drastically alter a victim’s quality of life, leading to partial or full paralysis.
  • Limb damage: In severe cases, limbs may suffer irreparable damage.

These injuries can have a profound impact on your physical, emotional, and financial well-being. At Goff Law Group, our compassionate pedestrian accident lawyers ensure that your claim reflects the full extent of your suffering so you can pursue the compensation you need to recover and rebuild your life.

Types of Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrian accidents can occur in a variety of ways. To pursue the compensation you deserve, your attorney will work to understand the specific circumstances of the accident. Common types of pedestrian accidents include:

  • Jaywalking collisions: These occur when drivers fail to yield or pedestrians unexpectedly step into traffic.
  • Backing up accidents: Collisions often occur in parking lots or driveways when drivers reverse without adequate caution.
  • Hit and run accidents: These traumatic incidents involve drivers fleeing the scene, leaving pedestrians without assistance or a clear path to compensation.
  • Running a red light: When drivers disregard traffic signals, it can lead to high-speed impacts, severely injuring pedestrians.
  • Distracted driving accidents: With the increased use of mobile devices, drivers are often distracted, increasing the risk of failing to notice pedestrians.
  • Illegal turn collisions: Drivers making unauthorized or reckless turns can catch pedestrians off guard, causing serious accidents.
  • Speeding-related crashes: Speeding reduces a driver’s ability to react quickly and increases the severity of any collision.
  • Intoxicated driving accidents: Alcohol and drug impairment significantly reduce a driver’s ability to make safe decisions, putting pedestrians at risk.

Regardless of the type of accident, our legal team will conduct a comprehensive investigation to determine liability. We specialize in analyzing accident dynamics to ensure that all responsible parties are identified and held accountable.
