A pedestrian accident involves any individual that is on foot, lying down, walking, running, hiking, or sitting and a motor vehicle, bicycle, or even a horse. It commonly occurs in the streets, sidewalks, parking lots, parks, and other places where there are pedestrians and where motorists can also pass by.

Pedestrian accidents are caused by various reasons including:

  • Driver Distraction: Not paying attention on the road can injure or kill a pedestrian in an instant. A driver can get inattentive while driving because of a lot or reasons and the most common is using cell phones.
  • Losing Vehicle Control: There are plenty of reasons why a driver cannot control the vehicle. It may be because of driving beyond the speed limit, changing lanes too fast, or driving through a poor weather condition.
  • Pedestrian AccidentsDisobeying Traffic Signals: Both drivers and pedestrians are at risk of getting injured when drivers fail to follow the traffic rules.
  • Aggressive Driving: Drivers should be aware of the dangers involved when driving aggressively on heavily populated areas. Driving Under the Influence: Perhaps the most common reason why drivers get into accidents, driving under the influence of either drugs and alcohol can cause fatal injuries to both drivers and pedestrians.
