Types of Pedestrian Accidents

Thousands of pedestrians in San Bernardino are seriously injured or killed while travelling next to, across or along roadways. San Bernardino pedestrian accidents can occur in intersections, at marked or unmarked crosswalks, or along the side of the road.  Pedestrian accidents can involve drivers and passengers of automobiles, trucks, bicycles and motorcycles. Children are especially at risk for being injured or killed in pedestrian accidents because they are smaller and harder to see.  Pedestrian accidents most often happen at night, but they can happen anywhere at any time of day.

Causes of San Bernardino Pedestrian Accidents

Although many pedestrian accidents involve another vehicle, motorcycle, or bicycle, pedestrian accidents may also be caused by improperly maintained sidewalks, roads or parking lots, construction activity or debris.  In some cases an injured pedestrian may be entitled to recover damages for a slip and fall or trip and fall accident under the legal theory of premises liability. A San Bernardino pedestrian accident lawyer at Estey & Bomberger, LLP can help you determine the cause of your pedestrian accident and if another party is responsible for your injuries.

Types of Pedestrian Accident Injuries

Pedestrians are often hit unexpectedly, with little or no time to flee an oncoming vehicle before a pedestrian is knocked down. Even if an automobile is not travelling very fast, or if the driver is able to brake before striking the pedestrian, a pedestrian can still be seriously injured or killed. With even less protection than a bicyclist wearing a helmet, a pedestrian is vulnerable to potentially every type of serious or catastrophic injury, including:

Pedestrians are sometimes the unfortunate victims of negligent or reckless driving in intersections or at crosswalks. A pedestrian is not protected by a vehicle’s steel cage of protection or airbags, and can easily be injured or killed. Intersection accidents are often caused by speeding, driver distraction, or drinking and driving. Alcohol is a factor in 20% of intersection fatality accidents, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
