Pedestrian Accidents: How Patterson Law Can Help

Pedestrian accidents are among the most devastating types of traffic incidents, often resulting in severe injuries or even fatalities. Pedestrians are particularly vulnerable because they lack any physical protection from the impact of a vehicle. These accidents can lead to overwhelming medical bills, lost income, emotional trauma, and a long road to recovery. When facing such challenges, having an experienced personal injury attorney like Brent Patterson of Patterson Law can make all the difference.

The Risks of Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrians face unique risks on the road, including:

  • Distracted Driving: Drivers who are texting, talking on the phone, or otherwise distracted often fail to see pedestrians crossing the road.

  • Failure to Yield: Many pedestrian accidents occur at crosswalks when drivers do not yield the right of way.

  • Speeding: Higher vehicle speeds increase both the likelihood of an accident and the severity of injuries.

  • Poor Visibility: Low light, adverse weather conditions, and obstructed views can contribute to accidents.

  • Impaired Driving: Drivers under the influence of drugs or alcohol pose a significant risk to pedestrians.

Common Injuries in Pedestrian Accidents

The injuries sustained in pedestrian accidents are often severe, including:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)

  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis

  • Broken bones and fractures

  • Internal organ damage

  • Lacerations and severe bruising

These injuries frequently require extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and ongoing care, making it crucial to seek compensation to cover these expenses.
