A car moving at 20 miles per hour will put a person on foot in hospital. Because nobody was speeding and the vehicle is barely marked, these collisions get written off as minor, and a pedestrian accident attorney often spends the first weeks proving how serious the injuries actually are.
Most American roads were built for vehicles rather than for people walking, which is part of why these accidents happen at all. Harm comes from the initial impact and then again from the fall to the ground. Common pedestrian accident injuries include:
- Broken bones
- Lacerations
- Internal injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Crushing injuries
- Permanent scarring
Don’t Underestimate Your Need for Compensation
In many cases, serious pedestrian accident injuries will have a lasting impact on the victim’s life. For example, you may be left with lingering pain from a back injury, memory problems from a brain injury, or permanent disfigurement from deep wounds. It is extremely important to recognize that you deserve compensation for the full extent of your injuries and suffering, both now and in the future.
