What Can Happen In These Incidents
There is no way for the human body to take an impact from a vehicle and walk away unscathed. Unfortunately, pedestrian accidents often lead to the worst crash injuries that we encounter. Please understand that pedestrians face two impacts in a crash – one with a vehicle and another one with the ground. It is not uncommon for us to see the following injuries in the aftermath of a pedestrian crash:
- Broken and dislocated bones
- Severe lacerations
- Internal organ damage
- Internal bleeding
- Spinal Cord Injuries
- Traumatic Brain Injuries
While these injuries vary widely in severity, they all require medical attention. In many cases, a pedestrian crash victim will need to undergo extensive medical procedures and extensive rehabilitation. The cost to a victim and their family are enormous and include things like: medical bills, lost wages if a victim cannot work, emotional and psychological damage, and more.
For the latest reporting year in New Jersey, there were thousands of pedestrian crash Injuries. Nearly every pedestrian crash resulted in an injury or fatality.
How These Incidents Happen
In many cases, pedestrian crashes happen in places where a person should expect to be safe: at crosswalks, intersections with walk lights, sidewalks, parking lots, and more. These unexpected crashes usually happen due to the carelessness or negligence of a driver. This can include drivers failing to yield the right-of-way or running a stop sign/stop light. We also know that pedestrians are very vulnerable to the actions of those:
- Impaired by Drugs or Alcohol
- Distracted by Their Phones or other devices
- Who speed or operate their vehicles recklessly
When a driver’s negligence causes harm, they must be held liable for their actions.
