Every two hours, a pedestrian is killed in a car related crash. \u00a0Approximately 85,000 people are injured or killed annually in accidents where they are hit by a car as a pedestrian. Most often occurring at intersections and in crosswalks when vehicles fail to stop for traffic signs, yield the right of way, or stop for lights, pedestrian accidents almost always result in either a fatality or a serious injury. Extremely fragile, the human body is not equipped to withstand the impact of a large, powerful motor vehicle. Pedestrian accidents in any metropolitan area like Portland are most often the result of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Conductores distra\u00eddos<\/li>\n<li>Speeding drivers<\/li>\n<li>Negligent drivers<\/li>\n<li>Drunk drivers<\/li>\n<li>Reckless drivers<\/li>\n<li>Inexperienced drivers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The most frequent cause of a person\u00a0being hit by a car as a pedestrian is distraction of the driver, especially during dusk or during the night when it is difficult to notice pedestrian movement. However, limited visibility is never an acceptable excuse for hitting a pedestrian. Drivers are expected to be aware and on the lookout for pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcyclists, animals and other movement around them at all times.<\/p>\n<p><b>Being Hit by a Car as a Pedestrian Can Result In Serious Injury or Death<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Pedestrian accidents result in a number of injuries that include skull fractures, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, burns, broken bones and sprains, amputation of limbs and other disfiguring injures as well as death. Victims of pedestrian accidents may require expensive and extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and physical therapy, all of which may be collectible in the form of damage compensation from an insurance company or the responsible party.<\/p>\n<p>If you or a family member has been hit by a car as a pedestrian in Portland or the surrounding areas and have suffered injury as a result of a pedestrian accident, DuBois Law Group can assist you with your insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit.
