Pedestrian Accident: Are You Or Your Loved One A Victim Of ...

Pedestrian Accidents
Walking is supposed to be healthy, not hazardous. Yet, thousands of pedestrians are hurt or killed each year as a result of defective property conditions or irresponsible motorists. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, almost 5,000 pedestrians are killed every year by motorists in the United States. More than 70,000 pedestrians are injured each year. In other words, a pedestrian is hurt in the United States every eight minutes, and every 111 minutes a pedestrian is killed. Pedestrian accidents in Missouri are of almost epidemic proportions, astonishingly occurring once every 110 minutes. In Kansas over the last ten years, almost 5,000 people have been involved in pedestrian accidents, with 263 killed as a result.

The attorneys of Kansas City Accident Injury Attorneys are dedicated to helping pedestrians and their families in Missouri and Kansas hurt through the carelessness of others.

Pedestrian accidents involving motor vehicles have many causes. Inattention, speeding, failure to keep a careful lookout, texting while driving, failure to yield the right of way to a pedestrian, running stop signs and red lights, and driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol can all lead to disaster, serious injury or death.

When a motorist knows or has reason to know that small children may be close, the responsibility to drive cautiously becomes even greater. Because children are small, spontaneous and often cannot appreciate the dangers of traffic, motorists must exercise extraordinary care when driving past residential areas, schools, parks or anywhere children might be at play.

Defective property conditions can also create dangerous walking conditions. Sidewalks in disrepair increase the chances that a pedestrian will trip and fall. Pedestrians have been struck by debris falling from poorly maintained buildings. People have even been hurt in parking lots with potholes and loose gravel cause them to slip.
