Common Causes of Pedestrian Injuries

Sidewalks, crosswalks, and the side of the road are all supposed to be safe places to walk. In fact, pedestrians are even protected under the California right of way laws. It is sad to say that many pedestrian accidents happen to school age kids walking to and from school and to seniors. Sidewalks, parking lots and driveway need to be well maintained and safe. Our lawyers will track down eye witnesses, investigate the accident and fully represent you. Pedestrian accidents and pedestrian fatalities are the fault of many causes including the following:

  • Negligent drivers;
  • Speeding drivers;
  • Distracted drivers (eating, texting, on the cell phone, etc);
  • Drunk drivers;
  • Drivers who cannot see or are blinded due to the sun;
  • Drivers did not see the school children crossing the street;
  • Reckless drivers;
  • Poorly maintained sidewalks and walkways;
  • Drivers who are too old to be driving;
  • Wheeled vehicles on pedestrian walkways and sidewalks;
  • Driver drives too close to someone getting in or out of a car; and
  • Drivers speeding to make the yellow light.

Results of Pedestrian Injuries

Pedestrian accident injuries can be very traumatic. We have seen the entire range of injuries and we know how to ensure that you get the timely and comprehensive medical treatment that you need. The following are the most common injuries after a crosswalk, pedestrian, hit-and-run or sidewalk accident:

Crosswalk Injuries

Crosswalks are meant to be a safe place for pedestrians, bike riders, people who use wheelchairs, people using walkers or canes and school children. The sad truth, though, is that drivers of cars, trucks and motorcycles drive recklessly, are distracted or they are in a rush. These reasons and more are how crosswalk accidents happen.

Construction Pedestrian Injuries

Other possible causes of injuries to pedestrians are falling debris from construction sites or other construction accidents like falling tools, falling buildings, falling painting supplies or scaffolding that collapses. In these cases, there is the potential of many parties at fault. Experienced injury attorneys like ours are the ones who can put your case together and help you become whole once again.
