Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

Why do pedestrian accidents cause such devastation?

If we pulled data from the respective Departments of Transportation in states throughout the Pacific Northwest, we would find a common theme – a large percentage of all pedestrian accidents in these states lead to significant injuries or even fatalities.

The reality is that the human body does not have any natural protection from the force of a vehicle that weighs thousands of pounds slamming into it at any rate of speed. Unfortunately, those involved in pedestrian accidents often suffer from two injury-causing impacts – one with the vehicle and one with the ground.

At Russell & Hill – Injury & Accident Attorneys, it is not uncommon for our pedestrian accident lawyers to help clients who have sustained the following types of injuries:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Open head wounds
• Spinal cord trauma with paralysis
• Other severe back or neck injury
• Broken or dislocated bones
• Severe lacerations and road rash
• Crush injuries or amputations
• Internal organ damage
• Internal bleeding
• Significant scarring and disfigurement

Our personal injury attorneys understand that pedestrian accident victims are also likely to suffer from significant emotional and psychological trauma as a result of what happened. With this in mind, we work diligently to help our clients recover compensation for all of their injuries, including the physical ones and the unseen emotional and psychological ones.

Most common causes of pedestrian accidents

Drivers often disregard pedestrian safety. That is the unfortunate reality of these incidents. Drivers tend to look out for other vehicles on the roadway, but not pedestrians. Some of the most common negligent driving behaviors that lead to pedestrian accidents include the following:

• Failing to yield the right of way
• Operating while distracted by phones or other devices
• Operating while impaired by alcohol or drugs
• Driving too fast for conditions
• Failing to stop at stop signs or traffic signals
• Improper turning procedures (i.e. U-turns, illegal left turns)
