Where do most pedestrian accidents occur?
Statistically, most pedestrian accidents occur at intersections, especially in more heavily-populated areas and in the summer months. If you or a loved one has been injured in a pedestrian accident, contact 844 See Mike today for a free consultation.
In a city as large as Chicago, we see an unfortunately high proportion of pedestrian accidents, as well as resulting injuries and deaths. Where traffic is dense and streets are filled with pedestrians and bicyclists in addition to moving vehicles, the risks of an accident naturally increase and are further multiplied by distracted drivers, distracted pedestrians, poor visibility, and other factors.
Of all pedestrian accidents which occur at intersections, “left-turn” accidents are particularly common and occur when a vehicle is turning left at an intersection and strikes a pedestrian moving parallel to the vehicle’s original direction. Distraction and inattention are common factors in these accidents due to the importance of scanning one’s pathway as a driver before and during a left-turn, especially at a crowded intersection. Drivers must always exercise proper caution for the safety of pedestrians and bicyclists on the street, and when they do not, they may be legally liable for the injuries and damages resulting from the accident.
