PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENTS
If you’ve been hit by a vehicle, you could be entitled to compensation. Experienced pedestrian accident attorneys located in Pennsylvania can help you build a case.
Pedestrian accidents are common but can be devastating when there are serious injuries involved. Pedestrian accidents are most often caused by drivers of motor vehicles who are not paying attention to their surroundings or who do not yield to pedestrians. These types of accidents can happen almost anywhere, including:
In mall, supermarket or department store parking lots
In crosswalks
When a person is entering or exiting their vehicle
On sidewalks
In parking garages
When walking on the side of the road in residential areas
In driveways
Because of the vulnerability that a pedestrian has, they are often injured severely in these types of accidents. Rarely is the driver of the motor vehicle injured, but the pedestrian will likely have to receive medical care including:
Emergency medical care
Hospitalization
Surgeries
Medication
Physical therapy
Sutures or staples
Casts or splints
Blood transfusions
