How Pedestrian Accidents Happen
Usually, the fault of a pedestrian accident is on the driver that was not paying attention or was driving recklessly. When this happens, it can be fatal for pedestrians and their loved ones. Read more about the different types of accidents you could be involved with:
Passing Accidents – When a negligent driver does not look at their surroundings and strikes a pedestrian while passing, it can create significant injuries by only not paying attention.
Intersection Accidents – These types of accidents happen when a pedestrian crosses an intersection quickly, and the driver does not have enough time to react and avoid it.
Back-up Accidents – When drivers are backing up, they do not see a pedestrian behind them, and they hit them. This is more common than what you think.
