What We Know about These Incidents?

Pedestrian crashes are not like other crashes. What we mean is that these incidents are usually much more severe. Pedestrians have armor. They do not have airbags. When they are struck, they often sustain serious injuries. We commonly deal with the following injuries as a result of pedestrian versus vehicle crashes:

  • Traumatic Brain Injuries/Head Injuries
  • Spinal Cord Injuries/paralysis
  • Internal organ damage/internal bleeding
  • Broken or dislocated bones
  • Severe lacerations or amputations

Each of these injuries requires extensive medical care and in many cases, a victim will need extensive rehabilitation in order to make a full recovery.

  • It is not uncommon for a pedestrian crash victim to be permanently disabled.

What happens if a crash victim is unable to work while they recover from their injuries? Will the insurance companies factor that amounts into their settlement?

Will insurance companies even cover all of the medical expenses?

For the latest reporting year in Pennsylvania, there were:

  • 150 pedestrian crash fatalities
  • Over 4,000 pedestrian crash injuries

Nearly every single pedestrian crash resulted in an injury or a fatality.

Drivers Are Commonly Distracted

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation says that over 40% of these incidents happen when a person is using a specified crossing area (pedestrian crosswalks, intersections, etc.). These are places where the pedestrian has the right-of-way, but a driver has ignored it or was distracted.

It is not uncommon for us to discover that a pedestrian crash was caused due to a driver who was texting or watching a video on their cell phone.

We also know that alcohol-impaired drivers were responsible for 26% of all traffic crash fatalities during the latest reporting year. Drunk drivers can cause devastating injuries to pedestrians and they often do not even stop when a crash occurs.
