Pedestrian Accidents






A Pedestrian Car Accident occurs when an automobile strikes a pedestrian and the pedestrian is injured. In our modern age, walking across a street may be a dangerous activity and lead to a fatal experience. You can be alone crossing any street and get hit by a speeding vehicle.

A Nevada Pedestrian Accident Lawyer is needed because over 6,000 pedestrians are fatally wounded due to pedestrian accidents every year, and an estimated 90,000 pedestrians are personally injured every year. A pedestrian or bicyclist is killed every 3 1/2 minutes. Pedestrian injuries and fatalities result in $20 billion in societal costs.
 
There are many causes as to why pedestrian may be injured by a vehicle, including:
  • Negligence on behalf of an automobile's operator
  • If a driver is under the influence of alcohol or any toxic substance
  • If a driver fails to follow proper procedures while driving a vehicle
 
Here are some tips to keep you safe:
 
  • Always look both ways when crossing a street
  • Pay attention to the turn signals before crossing a street
  • Never J-walk
  • Make eye contact with the operator of an automobile before walking in front of it
  • Do not drink alcohol while walking or crossing a street
  • Walk on the left side of the street when there is no sidewalk
