Understanding Pedestrian Accident Injuries

Pedestrians are among the most vulnerable road users, and accidents involving cars or trucks often result in serious injuries. Unlike vehicle occupants, pedestrians have no protection against the force of a collision. Common injuries in pedestrian accidents include:

Broken Bones: Fractures to the legs, arms, ribs, or pelvis.
Head Injuries: Concussions, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), or skull fractures.
Spinal Injuries: Damage to the spinal cord, which can result in paralysis or long-term disability.
Internal Injuries: Damage to internal organs or internal bleeding.
Cuts and Bruises: Severe lacerations, road rash, and contusions.

Elizabeth understands the physical and emotional toll these injuries can take on your life. She is here to help you navigate the legal process so you can focus on healing.

Your Legal Rights as a Pedestrian in Virginia

Virginia law protects pedestrians and holds negligent drivers accountable for causing injuries. As a pedestrian injured in an accident, you may be entitled to compensation for:

Medical Bills: Covers hospital stays, surgeries, medications, physical therapy, and other healthcare costs.
Lost Wages: Reimbursement for income lost while recovering from your injuries.
Pain and Suffering: Compensation for physical pain and emotional distress caused by the accident.
Future Expenses: Anticipated medical treatments or loss of earning capacity due to long-term injuries.

Elizabeth Tuomey will thoroughly investigate your case to determine the full extent of your damages and pursue maximum compensation on your behalf.

Causes of Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrian accidents often result from driver negligence. Common causes include:

Distracted Driving: Drivers using their phones or other devices may fail to notice pedestrians.
Speeding: Excessive speed reduces reaction time and increases the severity of injuries in a collision.
Failure to Yield: Drivers who ignore crosswalks or traffic signals may strike pedestrians.
Driving Under the Influence: Impaired drivers pose a serious risk to pedestrians.
Poor Visibility: Accidents can occur when drivers fail to see pedestrians at night or in bad weather.

Elizabeth will work to identify the cause of your accident and hold the responsible parties accountable.
