Drivers who cause accidents that injure pedestrians may be liable to compensate the pedestrian victims they harm through a personal injury claim for damages. Based on their liability, negligent drivers may be responsible for the victim&#8217;s medical expenses, lost earnings and pain and suffering.<\/p>\n<p>There are a variety of ways a driver may be considered negligent and some examples include drivers who drive while distracted; drivers who drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs; drivers who disregard weather or traffic conditions; drivers who disobey traffic signs or signals; drivers who fail to signal when turning; drivers who are speeding; and drivers who fail to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks. Injuries to pedestrians involved in <a href=\"\/auto-accidents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">car accidents<\/a> can be extensive which is why victims may need help with the damages they suffer.<\/p>\n<p>A personal injury claim for damages helps pedestrian accident victims with the unexpected challenges they face after they have been injured in a pedestrian versus car accident. The victim&#8217;s life may change in an instant and legal resources and remedies are at the ready to help them through those changes and to help them get the support they need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pedestrian accidents can be disastrous for victims who are vulnerable to careless and negligent drivers on the roadways.
