If you were injured in a pedestrian accident, KAASS LAW is here to help. Our experienced pedestrian accident attorneys fight for the compensation you deserve for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.
Walking should be one of the safest ways to travel. Whether you are crossing the street, walking to school, heading to work, or enjoying time with your family, you should feel safe on sidewalks and crosswalks. But sadly, pedestrian accidents happen quite often, and many of them cause serious injuries.
When a car hits a pedestrian, the injuries can be devastating. Unlike drivers, pedestrians have no seat belts, airbags, or metal frames to protect them. Even a low-speed crash can lead to painful injuries, expensive medical bills, and emotional stress.
If you or someone you love was hit by a vehicle, a pedestrian accident attorney can help you understand your rights and fight for fair compensation.
A pedestrian accident happens when a person walking is hit by a car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, or other vehicle. These accidents often happen in places where people should be safe, including:
Many pedestrian accidents are caused by careless or distracted drivers. In some cases, drivers may not even stop after the accident happens.
Pedestrian accidents can happen for many different reasons. Some of the most common causes include:
Distracted Driving
Drivers who text, eat, use GPS, or look at their phones may fail to notice someone crossing the street.
Speeding
A speeding driver has less time to stop and avoid hitting a pedestrian.
Drunk Driving
Alcohol and drugs can slow reaction time and affect judgment, making accidents more likely.
Failure to Yield
Drivers are supposed to stop for pedestrians in many situations, especially at marked crosswalks.
Poor Visibility
Rain, fog, darkness, and poorly lit roads can make it harder for drivers to see pedestrians.
Backing-Up Accidents
Cars backing out of driveways or parking spaces may hit someone walking behind them.
No matter how the accident happened, a pedestrian accident attorney can investigate the crash and determine who may be responsible.
