Pedestrians are particularly at risk of injury due to the negligence of drivers. Whether it’s professional bus and truck operators or everyday car drivers, all motorists have a duty to exercise reasonable care to protect pedestrians. This duty of care means drivers must remain vigilant for pedestrians, whether on the road, in parking lots, crosswalks, or driveways. When a driver fails to take this care, it constitutes negligence. If such negligence leads to a pedestrian being injured, that driver is held accountable, and the injured pedestrian may have the right to seek fair compensation. At Nick Major Law, our team of experienced Washington personal injury lawyers is dedicated to offering compassionate support and skilled legal representation to ensure victims receive the justice and compensation they deserve.

A study by the NTSB highlights several factors frequently contributing to pedestrian injuries in accidents, including:

  • Distracted driving
  • Driving under the influence of alcohol
  • Drug-impaired driving
  • Low visibility at night
  • Jaywalking
  • Poorly designed roads and intersections
  • Adverse weather conditions

 

Under Washington state law, pedestrians injured in such accidents can file a personal injury claim against the driver responsible to seek compensation for their damages. To understand your legal rights and options, it’s crucial to consult with an attorney.

Common Injuries in Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrians, whether walking, jogging, running, commuting, or even sitting on a bench, are at risk of accidents. Being aware of potential injuries that may result from these incidents is important.

Some of the most common injuries include:

  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Internal bleeding
  • Pelvic injuries
  • Fractures
  • Cuts and lacerations

 

Depending on the impact area and the vehicle’s speed, the pedestrian may be thrown to the ground, into an object (such as a building or another vehicle), or onto the vehicle’s hood or windshield. At Nick Major Law, we are committed to helping injured pedestrians understand their rights and pursue the compensation they need to recover.
