What dangers lie ahead for pedestrians?
Reckless and inattentive drivers put themselves and those around them in danger. The ramifications of their actions plague communities across the country. Do not pay for another’s mistake. As you may be aware of, victims of pedestrian accidents are burdened with emotional and physical trauma as well as endless bills. You may be compensated for any immediate or continuous medical attention, loss of wage/earning capacity, necessary home modifications, and a variety of other costs. It is imperative that you speak with a legal expert from Colony Law to understand the magnitude of financial compensation you may need.

Risk factors that contribute to the frequency of pedestrian factors include:
- Poor visibility (time of day)
- Infrastructure issues
- Distracted driving
- Negligence or recklessness
- Speeding
- Intoxication or physical impairment
It is crucial that drivers communicate and signal their intentions to pedestrians. This simple instruction may have powerful preventative measures.

Pedestrian accidents and medical attention
Injuries that are commonly seen in these types of accidents include (but are not limited to):
- Spinal cord injury
- Brain injury
- Internal organ damage
- Fractured/broken bones
- Lacerations
- Abrasions

Seeking medical attention following your accident is vital. Even if you feel that you may not need it, the full extent of an injury may not be apparent due to the masking effects of adrenaline.
In most cases, the motorist is to blame for a pedestrian accident. However, it is wise to allow the police to investigate the situation and file a report. They may uncover external factors that contributed to the accident such as unmarked crosswalks, construction areas, etc.
