While operating a motor vehicle, many motorists do not pay attention to their surroundings. Unfortunately, this can cause pedestrians harm. Motorists do a huge disservice to pedestrians when they speed, disobey traffic laws, do not yield the right of way, or fail to make proper stops at stop signs.

In 2008, over 4,000 pedestrians were killed in the United States in traffic accidents, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Additionally, 69,000 pedestrians were injured in traffic crashes. This means, on average, a pedestrian is killed in a traffic accident every two hours. Every eight minutes, a pedestrian is injured in a traffic crash. In Oregon, in 2008, 51 people died in pedestrian accidents.

In most traffic situations, pedestrians have the right of way. Motorists are to be mindful of their surroundings and in control of their vehicles to avoid potential hazards. If a motorist operates their vehicle carelessly and an accident occurs, the motorist can be held liable for expenses associated with a person’s injuries resulting from the accident. Unfortunately, a handful of pedestrian accidents are hit-and-runs, meaning that the motorist leaves the scene of the car crash. This puts the life of the injured pedestrian in more danger due to a potential delay in emergency help arriving if the accident is not reported.

In an Oregon pedestrian accident, pedestrians’ injuries range from minor to catastrophic. More serious injuries, such as a traumatic brain injury (TBI) or a spinal cord injury, can alter a person’s way of life forever. Extensive physical therapy may also be required, which further impacts a person’s life. In severe Oregon pedestrian accidents, victims may even lose their lives. When a family loses a loved one in a pedestrian accident, they may seek compensation from the negligent individual in a wrongful death lawsuit.
