5 Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrian accidents can result from various factors, often linked to driver negligence or unsafe conditions. The Governors Highway Safety Association released data showing that drivers struck and killed approximately 7,318 pedestrians in 2023. The following are five of the most common causes of pedestrian accidents.

1. Distracted Driving. Drivers using cell phones or other devices may fail to notice pedestrians crossing the street.
2. Speeding. Excessive speed reduces a driver’s reaction time, increasing the likelihood of a collision.
3. Failure to Yield. Drivers who fail to yield at crosswalks or intersections put pedestrians at risk.
4. Impaired Driving. Alcohol or drug use impairs judgment and reaction times, leading to preventable accidents.
5. Poor Visibility. Drivers may struggle to see pedestrians during nighttime or adverse weather conditions.

Identifying the cause of your accident is a critical step in holding the responsible parties accountable. At Stark & Stark, our pedestrian accident attorneys work diligently to uncover the truth behind your accident and build a strong case on your behalf.

Who Can Be Held Liable in a Pedestrian Accident?

Determining liability in a pedestrian accident requires careful investigation. Depending on the circumstances, several parties may share responsibility, including:

• Negligent Drivers. Drivers who fail to obey traffic laws or exercise caution near pedestrians are often liable for accidents.
• Municipalities. Poorly designed intersections, malfunctioning traffic signals, or inadequate street lighting can contribute to accidents, making local governments partially responsible.
• Vehicle Manufacturers. Defective brakes, tires, or other vehicle components may cause pedestrian accidents.

Our attorneys carefully examine all factors contributing to your accident to ensure all liable parties are identified and held accountable.

 How Much Is My Pedestrian Accident Case Worth?

Pedestrian accident victims often endure severe financial, emotional, and physical hardships. Determining the value of your case depends on several factors, including the severity of your injuries, the impact on your life, and the financial losses you’ve incurred. At Stark & Stark, we are committed to helping you recover maximum compensation for the damages you’ve suffered, which may include:

• Medical Expenses: Reimbursement for emergency care, surgeries, hospitalization, rehabilitation, and any ongoing or future medical treatments related to your injuries.
• Lost Wages: Compensation for income lost due to missed work and diminished earning potential if your injuries prevent you from returning to your previous job or career path.
• Pain and Suffering: Non-economic damages for past and future physical pain, emotional distress, and the overall loss of enjoyment of life caused by the accident.
• Wrongful Death: For fatal pedestrian accidents, surviving family members may seek compensation for funeral and burial costs, the loss of financial support, and the companionship of their loved one.

At Stark & Stark, we meticulously evaluate all aspects of your claim to ensure nothing is overlooked. We aim to secure the compensation you need to move forward and rebuild your life after a pedestrian accident.
