Two cars getting into a crash is scary and dangerous, but a pedestrian accident is even more so. You could be minding your own business, perhaps walking or biking with family or friends, when out of the blue you’re hit by a vehicle that is more than three times your size and that weighs roughly 4,000 pounds. The harm incurred can be astronomical.

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, each year there are approximately 4,000 pedestrian deaths and 59,000 pedestrian injuries. Transportation for America revealed that “more than 47,000 pedestrians were killed in the U.S. between 2000 and 2009.” When a pedestrian accident occurs, it is not uncommon for the victim to sustain serious injuries, including:
- Brain/head trauma
- Spinal cord injuries
- Disfigurement
- Broken limbs
- Permanent disability
After you have received the medical attention you need, is there anything else you can do? Is there any way you can pursue justice and stop feeling like a victim?
