Pedestrians’ Greater Danger for Injury

On any given day, millions of pedestrians traverse the streets of America, walking to their destinations to save money on gas or enjoy some time outdoors. However, while walking to your destinations can be great for the environment and your wallet, pedestrians are much more likely to be injured by a dangerous driver than other users of the road. Pedestrians are at the mercy of drivers, and if someone is driving dangerously, the potential for a pedestrian injury increases by a significant margin.

If you or someone you know has been hurt by a reckless driver as a pedestrian, contact the experienced New Jersey car accident attorneys of Levinson Axelrod, P.A. today by calling 800-346-5529 to talk with us about your pedestrian injury and the potential to glean financial compensation from those responsible.

Why Pedestrians are in Danger

Pedestrians have to be extra careful when they are sharing the roadways with drivers, because sometimes motorists fail to adhere to safety laws. Some of the more common causes of serious pedestrian injuries include:

  • Driver’s refusal to yield
  • Driver running a red light / stop sign
  • Driver’s use of excessive speed
  • Drunk driving
  • Distracted driving

Pedestrians may be injured in any of the above situations, and there are many other examples of dangerous driving behavior that could endanger a pedestrian. As a pedestrian, you have legal rights if a driver endangers or injures you, so don’t let this type of negligence occur without seeking justice.
