Among the most serious traffic incidents that can occur are those which involve pedestrians. Lacking any protection whatsoever, a pedestrian is completely vulnerable to serious injuries when struck by a moving vehicle. Even a relatively slow-moving vehicle can cause fractures and other major injuries to a pedestrian due to the size and weight of the vehicle and the hardness of the outside surfaces. Pedestrian accidents can involve runners or joggers who are struck in a crosswalk, sideswiped by a car or truck, struck while in a parking lot, struck while exiting a bus or car and many other instances. You should contact pedestrian accident lawyers right away to assess your case, gather evidence, contact witnesses and get the most compensation any damage to your bike, your body and for past and future pain and suffering.
