“Pedestriancar accidents,” as you’d expect, are accidents involving a car, truck, or motorcycle and a person outside the vehicle. If you’ve been injured in an accident due to a driver’s negligence, speak with an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible.

Here are some common types of auto accidents involving pedestrians:

– Crosswalk accidents – These occur when a vehicle strikes a pedestrian after failing to give him/her the proper right-of-way at a crosswalk.
– Lost control accidents – These involve striking a pedestrian after losing control of the vehicle, such as veering off the road and striking a pedestrian on a sidewalk or skidding into an intersection when the vehicle fails to stop during bad weather.
– Back-over accidents – These involve a vehicle striking a pedestrian while in reverse and often occur in parking lots and near driveways.
Pedestrian car accidents can result in a wide range of injuries, including injuries to the limbs, head, neck, chest, and torso. Some severe accidents can result in traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, paralysis, and even death. If you have been struck by a vehicle due to a driver’s recklessness or carelessness, you deserve to be fully compensated for your injuries and losses, including medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
