Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrian accidents are perhaps one of the most deadly forms of vehicle-related accidents there are. When a pedestrian is hit by a car, they have no protection. Their body is subjected to an extreme amount of force that will almost always result in lifelong ailments or even death. Due to the inherent risks of being hit by a motor vehicle, it is vital that you understand the primary causes of this all too common occurrence. If you have been injured by the negligence of another, The Ruth Law Team’s personal injury lawyers can provide invaluable guidance in your time of need. We may be able to file a claim on your behalf and obtain justice for your injuries and lost wages.
Pedestrian crashes can affect literally anyone, but they almost always involve an act of negligence on the part of the at-fault driver. Some of the most common causes of pedestrian accidents may include:
- Distracted driving (i.e., texting)
- Driving while under the influence
- Driving too fast for weather conditions
- Driving while fatigued
- Speeding
- Driving in reverse carelessly
- Violating pedestrian right-of-way laws
- Turning left without checking for pedestrians
- Improper signage or lighting near crosswalks
