Pedestrian accidents are serious events, which is why you should do everything in your power to avoid them. If you are going for a walk, make sure you wear reflective clothing so drivers can see, stay as far away from the edge of the road as possible, and choose times during the middle of the day to go for a walk so that drivers can see you more easily.

If you’ve been involved in a pedestrian accident, you may be able to recover compensation for your injuries through a personal injury lawsuit. A personal injury lawyer can help you hold the person responsible for your pedestrian accident injuries so you can recover damages to pay for medical bills, pain and suffering, and lost wages.
