How Vehicle Speed Affects Risk of Fatal Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrians are highly vulnerable to the size and velocity of moving vehicles, and even low-speed collisions can result in serious injuries and long-term complications. Unfortunately, as the speed of the vehicle increases, so does the chance of a pedestrian fatality. If you have lost a loved one in a pedestrian accident due to a driver’s negligence, contact our offices today; we will ensure that your rights are protected.

While most accidents involving pedestrians occur in urban areas, accidents at higher speeds are more likely to occur in less-urbanized areas where speed limits may be higher. Furthermore, an estimated three in four pedestrian accidents occur at nighttime, and limited visibility is also a common factor in fatal accidents. It’s important for pedestrians to remember that they are also responsible for exercising caution when crossing roadways and must follow all applicable traffic laws at all times, but when an accident is directly caused by a driver’s negligence, you deserve full compensation for your injuries and losses, and our experienced attorneys will be here for you every step of the way.
