Pedestrian Injury

A never-ending battle on the roads

All throughout California, there has been a never-ending battle between pedestrians, cyclists and motorists in controlling the road. Anyone of them may suffer a very serious injury once involved in a vehicular accident. There is no point of comparison between the size of the vehicle involved and the damage that may result, because when it happens, the effects are always devastating.

The common pedestrian injury that a victim may sustain include:

• Head injury;


• Fractured bones;


• Spinal cord damage; and


• Brain injury

Statistics on pedestrian injury

Each year, there is approximately sixty-thousand pedestrian fatalities in the United States alone. The sad fact is that it continues to increase. Most of the fatalities are caused by the inattentiveness and carelessness of drivers. Pedestrians are very much exposed to serious injuries when struck by a moving vehicle. In fact, even fairly slow moving vehicles can cause a pedestrian injury upon a person crossing the street.

Victims of pedestrian accidents are entitled to compensation for:

• property damage;


• medical bills;


• lost wages; and


• pain and suffering
