Sanger Pedestrian Accident Attorney
Sanger Pedestrian Injury Lawyer
In 2009, the California Highway Patrol recorded 593 pedestrian deaths and 13,083 pedestrian injuries caused by motor vehicle accidents. And while the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports a steady decline of pedestrian fatalities, thousands are still killed, and tens of thousands are still injured each year. If you have been a victim of a Sanger pedestrian accident, you may be entitled to compensation; a professional Sanger pedestrian accident lawyer can help you determine your rights.
Causes of Pedestrian Accidents
The most common cause of pedestrian accident is driver distraction or inattention. Because pedestrians are small and difficult to recognize, especially from afar, drivers must be especially careful when driving through local streets. But when a driver is talking on the phone, texting, adjusting the radio settings, or is involved in another activity that distracts from the road, he or she can cause a tragic pedestrian accident. Other causes of pedestrian accidents can include:
- Drunk driving
- Fatigued driving
- Speeding
- Unsafe left-turns
- Aggressive driving
- Disobeying traffic lights and stop signs,
Types of Pedestrian Accident Injuries
Because pedestrians have no protective gear, they frequently sustain very serious injuries and have the highest rate of fatalities among all traffic accident victims. When an accident does not result in a fatality, victims often sustain:
- Multiple broken bones
- Brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Severe burn injuries
- Internal organ injuries
- Loss of limb (amputation).
Seeking Justice
Filing a personal injury claim offers accident victims a means to seek justice and redress from the party responsible for the accident. When a negligent driver causes pedestrian accidents resulting in death or even a permanently incapacitating disability, a personal injury claim can hold negligent parties accountable for their reckless actions.
