North Carolina Pedestrian Accident Lawyers

Who comprises the second highest number of motor vehicle accident deaths? If you answered bicyclists or motorcyclists, you’re wrong. Pedestrian accidents are an extremely serious problem in the United States, accounting for 11 percent of all fatalities in motor vehicle accidents. Read on for more information on pedestrian accidents.

The statistics on pedestrian accidents point to the seriousness of this problem. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, a pedestrian is injured every eight minutes. 1.6 people per 100,000 will die in a pedestrian accident. While urban areas experience more pedestrian accidents, more deaths occur in rural areas because drivers drive faster on local and rural roads.

The majority of all pedestrian accidents and death occur at intersections. Why are intersections so dangerous? Because vehicles tend to travel faster to get through intersections and many crosswalks are not marked, but are rather implicit. Children and the elderly are especially vulnerable at intersections since they may take more time to get through an intersection.

Though good safety habits and obeying all posted traffic signs can go far to prevent traffic accidents, not all are preventable, and accidents do happen. All too often, the results are catastrophic, and injuries such as brain damage, paralysis, broken bones, and more can occur. Luckily, the law allows individuals to claim compensation in court from the drivers who caused their injuries through negligence if they can prove lack of care.

Pedestrian accident litigation can be quite complicated and involve extensive investigation, witness location, and use of expert witnesses. For this reason, it is suggested that anyone who is interested in a pedestrian accident lawsuit first consult a lawyer with deep experience in pedestrian and motor vehicle accidents and a respectable track record of success in his or her field.
