If you or a loved one has been involved in a pedestrian accident, you are not alone. Every two hours in the United States, a pedestrian is killed by a car, truck, motorcycle, or bus. There are over 4,000 pedestrian accident deaths per year. In Ohio, nearly 10% of all auto accidents involve a pedestrian.

Injuries from a Pedestrian Accident
A human body colliding with any size vehicle rarely escapes harm. Serious injuries such as traumatic brain damage and broken bones are common in pedestrian accidents. There will be medical bills, lost income from missing work, pain, and suffering because of the injuries. It takes a long time to recover from these severe injuries. Some people never fully recover. The effects of the accident are permanent for them and their families.
Seeking compensation for your injuries and damages caused by a pedestrian accident can be complex and time-consuming. You have two years from the date of an injury from this type of accident to file a lawsuit. Even if you think you are partially at fault in the accident, you may still be able to recover.
Distracted Drivers
Drivers of cars, trucks, buses and other motor vehicles deal with more distractions than ever. Rain, snow, and fog make it hard for drivers to see. The use of mobile phones takes away the attention of drivers. They concentrate on telephone conversations or texting rather than what’s going on around their vehicles.
