Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrian Accidents

We all have moments when we are pedestrians. Pedestrians are particularly vulnerable to moving traffic around them. Most pedestrian-vehicle incidents occur at intersections and on roadways without sidewalks. Remember, when you are walking, there is nothing between you and moving vehicles on roads, in parking lots, and even on sidewalks. Be vigilant and keep yourself safe when you are walking.

If you are injured as a pedestrian, it is important that you work with a personal injury lawyer who has extensive experience in pedestrian accidents. Jay Jackson understands the law, how to investigate your case, and how to counter an insurance company’s attempts to assign fault to you for your injuries.

Pedestrians can suffer devastating injuries when struck by a vehicle, including:

· Fractures

· Internal injuries to organs

· Skull fractures

· Spinal cord injuries

· Traumatic brain injury

· Death
