What Are Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents?

Pedestrian accidents can occur in various ways, but the main cause is commonly driver error.

Driver Errors

Such errors can include:

Driver inattention or distraction
Driver speeding
Driver failing to stop at stop signs or signals
Driver making illegal U-turns
Driver intoxicated by alcohol and/or drugs
Driver failing to give the right of way at crosswalks

Pedestrian Fault

While negligent drivers are the main source of pedestrian crashes, pedestrians themselves can also be at fault through such actions as:

Jaywalking
Failing to yield to motorists in areas without crosswalks
Or darting out into traffic

In those cases, it is imperative that you get help from an experienced personal injury lawyer in order to pursue full compensation in a claim.

Pedestrian Accident FAQ

Q: What are common injuries from getting hit by a car?

A: Some common injuries that pedestrians often suffer after being hit by a car include:

Cuts, scrapes and bruises
Concussions or brain swelling
Blood loss and blood clots
Whiplash
Spinal cord injuries or other broken bones
Soft tissue damage including torn or sprained ligaments

Q: I got hit by a car but I feel fine, should I still go to the doctor?

A: Even if you don't feel like you suffered any injuries from your accident, you should always get checked out by a medical professional before saying anything to the other party.

Until you have received a thorough exam, there's no way of telling whether or not you will be facing long-term injuries or symptoms that don't present themselves until much later.

Q: If I was hit while jaywalking, who is at fault? is jaywalking illegal in florida

A: In Florida jaywalking is not against the law. However, if you were crossing the street outside of a pedestrian crosswalk, there is a chance that you may be charged with partial fault in the accident.

Especially since Florida is a comparative negligence state, that means that there is a chance your compensation could be reduced if you are found to be partially responsible for the accident.

In cases of pedestrians being hit, it is extremely important that you hire a pedestrian accident lawyer to represent you because it can be difficult to prove that you were not at fault for the accident.
