Pedestrian Accidents

Baltimore Pedestrian Accidents Attorney:

Pedestrians are the most vulnerable of all accident victims because they are completely unprotected from the immense harm that can result from being struck by a motor vehicle. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2009, the most recent year that pedestrian statistics were gathered, the following data was compiled:

A pedestrian is defined as:

  • “Any person on foot, walking, running, jogging, hiking, sitting or lying down who is involved in a motor vehicle traffic crash.”
  • Traffic crash – for purposes of this data means:
  • An incident that involves one or more vehicles
  • where at least one vehicle is in transport
  • and the crash originates on a public traffic way.

If you were injured in a pedestrian accident that was caused by another’s negligence you may seek compensation for your pain and suffering, lost wages, present and future medical expenses and much more in a personal injury claim.

Pedestrian Fatalities:

Pedestrian injuries and fatalities occur wherever people walk, jog or play. Facts about pedestrian injuries:

  • 72% of pedestrian fatalities occurred in an urban setting
  • 76% occurred at non-intersections
  • 90% occurred in normal weather – not in rain, snow or fog
  • 70% occurred at night
  • Nearly half occurred on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday
  • 40% of all young pedestrian fatalities occurred between 3 and 7 pm

If a loved one lost their life in a pedestrian accident, the surviving child, parent or spouse may seek damages in two similar but different claims. The wrongful death claim seeks to compensate the parents, spouse and children for emotional pain and suffering, and all other non-economic losses related to the loss of their loved one. Compensation under the survival action can be sought for the victim’s pain and suffering, economic loss and other claims the victim would have been able to claim had he survived. Attorney Brown has more than 40 years of experience helping his clients obtain the compensation they deserve for their losses. While monetary compensation obviously can’t replace the love and companionship of a loved one, it can provide the means to continue on with life during trying times.
