Pedestrian Accidents in Michigan

Pedestrian accidents are a significant concern across Michigan. According to state traffic reports, hundreds of pedestrians are injured or killed every year in collisions with motor vehicles. These incidents often occur at night, in intersections, or areas with limited visibility.

Some of the most common causes of pedestrian accidents include:

• Failure to Yield: Drivers who fail to give pedestrians the right of way at crosswalks or intersections put them at risk.
• Distracted Driving: Looking at a phone, adjusting the radio, or engaging in other distractions can prevent drivers from noticing pedestrians.
• Speeding: A speeding driver has less time to react to obstacles, making it harder to avoid hitting a pedestrian.
• Poor Visibility: Nighttime, adverse weather, or poorly lit areas can make it difficult for drivers to see pedestrians crossing the street.
• Jaywalking or Walking Outside Crosswalks: While drivers are responsible for being alert, pedestrians must also use designated crossing areas when available.
