Common Pedestrian Accident Injuries We See

Getting hit by a car (even at low speed) can leave your body seriously injured. We’ve seen it all, and some injuries are more common than others. These types of accidents tend to cause a lot more than just scrapes and bruises.

Here are some of the injuries we see most often:

Broken bones, especially legs, hips, arms, and ribs
Head injuries, including concussions and traumatic brain injuries
Back and spinal cord damage
Internal bleeding or organ injuries
Cuts, scrapes, and road rash
Neck injuries like whiplash

Who Can Be Held Liable?

You might assume the driver is always responsible, but pedestrian accident cases aren’t always black and white. It takes a good investigation to figure out who’s at fault.

Liability depends on what actually happened. Did the driver run a red light? Were they distracted by their phone? Speeding through a crosswalk? Maybe a business failed to maintain a safe area, or the city didn’t fix a known hazard.

Depending on the situation, the driver, property owners, vehicle manufacturers or even government entities can be held liable.

There are layers here, and sometimes more than one party is at fault.

That’s why we investigate everything. We talk to witnesses, pull footage, check the scene, and bring in experts if needed. You don’t need to figure all that out yourself. That’s on us.
