Philadelphia Pedestrian Accident Lawyers

Pedestrian accidents can happen to anyone, anywhere. Even the most careful of drivers can find themselves involved in one of these types of accidents. Unfortunately, the fatality rate among pedestrian accidents is high, since the competition between the fragile human body and tons of steel and glass is usually a “no contest”.

A pedestrian accident is any accident involving a vehicle, whether it be a car, truck, van or even a motorcycle, and at least one pedestrian, defined as any person who travels by foot. A pedestrian accident can occur in the street, in the crosswalk, on the sidewalk, in a parking lot…anywhere where foot and vehicle traffic meet. The most usual setting for a pedestrian accident is an intersection without pedestrian crosswalks or urban roadways.

It is unfortunate that children and elderly are most at risk for pedestrian accidents. Children run into streets after toys, pets or after other children with no regard to automobiles. Children sometimes cross streets without looking for lack of knowing any better or by distraction from other children or some other means. The elderly are also at risk since they are not as agile in crossing streets or avoiding oncoming traffic in the case of an emergency situation. Also, the aid of canes, walkers and wheelchairs can slow an elderly pedestrian down, making them more susceptible to oncoming traffic.
