Unfortunately, vehicle vs. pedestrian accidents has also been on the rise. This may due in part to distracted drivers that simply don\u2019t notice that anybody is in their way until it is too late.<\/p>\n<p>When a pedestrian is struck by a vehicle, their lack of protective gear, or the surrounding metal frame, their bodies are directly affected by the impact. While traffic accidents involving pedestrians are rarely the fault of the pedestrian, there are some important tips that can help you avoid an accident altogether.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Young Children and Street Crossings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Small children are at a disadvantage when it comes to being seen. Their small stature often makes them much less visible to vehicles, especially taller vehicles like trucks which may have reduced ground visibility. Additionally, children don\u2019t always understand the speed or general behavior of vehicles and may put themselves in dangerous situations. Small children should always cross the street with an adult.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Use Crosswalks and Intersections<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Pedestrians are legally allowed to cross streets at most intersections and in marked crosswalks. These areas have been specifically designed to allow for a safe crossing zone and cities have certain requirements they need to maintain when creating crosswalks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Use the Sidewalk<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you are traveling in an area that has sidewalks, use them. Their raised surfaces allow for increased visibility, and it\u2019s more difficult for a vehicle to cross up onto them to strike a pedestrian. If you are in an area that doesn\u2019t have this amenity, you should walk facing into traffic so that you can see any potential danger ahead of time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact a Personal Injury Attorney Charleston <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While these tips are designed to help keep you safer, sometimes they aren\u2019t enough and pedestrians or bicyclists are struck by vehicles and seriously injured every day. If you are the victim of an accident, you should call our offices today. Peter David Brown is a committed personal injury attorney Charleston and he will offer guidance from start to finish.
