While travel via motor vehicle is essential for most people, many still travel by foot. Some do not have far to travel, and some simply do not have access to a car. Regardless of your reasons for traveling by foot, you are afforded rights as a pedestrian. Drivers are expected to observe traffic laws put in place to protect pedestrians, yet many end up causing catastrophic accidents that inflict grievous harm upon unassuming bystanders.
Collisions between motor vehicles and pedestrians are incredibly damaging, and many who are lucky to survive the ordeal do so with severe injuries that have lifelong consequences. Pedestrian accident injuries are well known to disable, scar, and disfigure people to the point that their whole lives change. Those harmed by negligent drivers this way often seek compensation for the level of damage done to them via legal action in the form of a negotiated settlement or a lawsuit.
