Understanding Pedestrian-Car Accidents
Pedestrian-car accidents are tragic incidents that can result in severe injuries or even fatalities. These accidents occur when a vehicle collides with a pedestrian, whether on a sidewalk, crosswalk, or road. Unfortunately, New Jersey has seen an alarming increase in such accidents in recent years, necessitating the need for legal intervention to protect the rights of the victims. At Berggren & Turturice, we specialize in handling these cases and are committed to helping our clients navigate the complexities of the legal system.
Causes of Pedestrian-Car Accidents
Understanding the causes of pedestrian-car accidents is crucial in preventing future incidents and establishing liability. Some common causes include:
- Distracted Driving: Drivers who are texting, talking on the phone, or engaging in other distractions are more prone to causing accidents involving pedestrians.
- Failure to Yield: Drivers who fail to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks or at intersections may be held liable in the event of an accident.
- Speeding: Excessive speed reduces the time drivers have to react to pedestrians and increases the severity of accidents.
- Drunk Driving: Intoxicated drivers have impaired judgment and reaction time, increasing the chances of a pedestrian-car accident.
Consequences of Pedestrian-Car Accidents
The consequences of pedestrian-car accidents can be devastating. Pedestrians involved in such accidents often suffer from:
- Severe Injuries: Pedestrians are vulnerable to serious injuries, including broken bones, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and internal organ damage.
- Emotional Trauma: The psychological impact of being involved in a pedestrian-car accident can be long-lasting, leading to anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
- Financial Burden: Extensive medical bills, loss of income, and ongoing rehabilitation costs can create significant financial strain on the victims and their families.
