Causes of Pedestrian Accidents
There are a number of different causes of accidents between automobiles and pedestrians, all of which can result in considerable costs, injuries, and damages. Some of the most common causes of these accidents include:
- A pedestrian crossing the street at an undesignated location or undesignated time
- A child or adult darting into the street unexpectedly (usually to retrieve an object)
- An automobile’s failure to observe traffic signs and / or signals
- An automobile’s failure to check for pedestrians before turning
- The failure of an automobile to brake in an adequate amount of time before hitting a pedestrian
All of these types of accidents have the potential to cause serious injuries that may result in severe injuries, permanent disability, or even death. At the very least, the injured pedestrian will most likely incur high medical bills in the months or years following the accident.
