Pedestrian Accident Injuries

personal injury

With the temperatures getting much warmer, you can see more and more people out on foot around town.

This is because they have no protection from the impact of a crash. Even bicyclists might have helmets, though pedestrians usually have nothing but the clothes on their bodies, which offer zero protection in most cases. Some examples of devastating pedestrian accident injuries include: Fractured hips…
