Causes of Pedestrian Accidents

Here at Clemens Blair, we have handled a broad range of pedestrian accident injury claims and we have seen the devastation that it can have on a family. We have extensive knowledge of Oklahoma personal injury and wrongful death law and we can provide you with the compassion and supportive representation that you need. Pedestrian accidents can be caused by a wide variety of influencing factors, but the main reason is typically driver negligence.

The following forms of driver negligence are considered to be major contributing factors to pedestrian accidents:

  • Failure to stop at a crosswalk or stop sign
  • Failure to yield at a stop light
  • Speeding
  • Texting while driving
  • Drunk driving
  • Hitting a pedestrian walking on the sidewalk
  • Hitting a pedestrian walking across the street
  • Hitting a child as they play or walk to school

Pedestrians are exposed and unprotected as they walk the streets, especially because there are many negligent drivers who do not exercise reasonable care. When drivers do not abide by the traffic laws and are not considerate of the safety of pedestrians, the consequences can be catastrophic. Many times in pedestrian accidents, the victim suffers serious injuries or even wrongful death, because they don't have the protection that a vehicle provides. Pedestrians often suffer serious brain, neck, back and spinal cord injuries that could cause permanent damage. In more serious cases when pedestrians are struck or thrown by a car, they can also suffer broken bones, amputation, or disfigurement. If you have suffered any of the above injuries, consult with an Oklahoma injury attorney as soon as possible.
