Accidents involving pedestrians usually result in severe injuries and even fatalities. Victims of pedestrian accidents sustain internal injuries, broken bones, as well as cuts and bruises. Internal injuries and broken bones can potentially cause death or incapacitation if not treated quickly.
Motorists are required by law to slow down as they approach crosswalks, whether marked or unmarked. They are also expected to yield the right-of-way to pedestrians at controlled intersections. In the event of a pedestrian accident, the authorities will investigate to establish if the driver may have violated these traffic laws. Authorities may also conduct a sobriety test on the driver to establish if the motorist had been driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. If an investigation proves that negligence on the part of the motorist was a factor in the accident, the victims or their families are advised to file a case in court.
