When a motor vehicle collides with a pedestrian, it is usually the pedestrian – as opposed to the motor vehicle occupants – who suffers the more serious injuries. This is because, unlike motor vehicle drivers and their passengers, pedestrians do not have a covering or outer shell surrounding them at the time of a collision. A forceful impact can knock a pedestrian to the ground, resulting in serious consequences.
Pedestrian accidents frequently lead to injuries that are debilitating and which require a significant amount of medical treatment. Injured pedestrians may also need to miss time away from work in order to recuperate from their injuries. Common injuries that victims of pedestrian accidents often suffer include the following:
If you have suffered one or more of these injuries in your pedestrian accident, it is important that you receive the medical treatment that you need as quickly as possible. You should also consult with an experienced Austin pedestrian accident lawyer about all of your legal options.
Pedestrian accidents are usually the result of motor vehicle operator negligence. That negligence could include the following:
In order to prevail in a personal injury case resulting from a pedestrian accident, you must be able to demonstrate that a motor vehicle operator (or some other person or entity) was careless, unreasonable, or negligent in some way. If you are able to satisfy that legal burden, you could pursue and recover compensation for your medical expenses, lost earnings, and pain and suffering.
