Tragically, fatal pedestrian accidents can abruptly alter the course of life for individuals and their families. These incidents often result from the negligent behaviors of others. Several key factors contribute to these tragic events, including:

• Distracted Driving: When drivers take their focus off the road, the risk of a collision significantly increases.
• Speeding: Exceeding speed limits not only raises the chance of an accident but also impairs a driver's reaction time.
• Impairment: Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs severely impairs critical skills, posing serious dangers on the road.

The repercussions of fatal pedestrian crashes are profound and regrettably prevalent, with a significant number of incidents reported yearly in Michigan alone. Many of these accidents are a result of negligence, such as impaired, distracted, or speeding drivers, leading to catastrophic outcomes.
