Pedestrian Accidents in Michigan

Pedestrian accidents in Michigan are a serious concern. According to data from the Michigan State Police, more than 2,000 pedestrian-involved crashes occur across the state each year. Many of these incidents result in critical or fatal injuries, particularly when high speeds or major roadways are involved. These types of accidents often require immediate medical attention and can change a person’s life in an instant.

Understanding the impact of these accidents is essential. Here are several key factors related to pedestrian crashes:

• Visibility and Lighting: Many pedestrian accidents happen at night or in poorly lit areas. Even if crosswalks are present, reduced visibility increases risk for both drivers and pedestrians.
• Driver Awareness: Motorists may be distracted or fail to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks. When drivers don’t pay attention or speed through intersections, the consequences can be severe.
• Injuries Often Life-Threatening: Pedestrians don’t have the protection of a vehicle. Head trauma, spinal injuries, broken bones, and internal bleeding are common in these types of collisions.
• Long-Term Recovery: Survivors may require surgery, physical therapy, and extended hospital stays. The recovery process can be physically, emotionally, and financially overwhelming.
• Legal Complexities: Proving liability in pedestrian accidents can be challenging. Having a clear record of events, medical documentation, and legal representation is crucial when seeking justice and compensation.

If you or a loved one has been hurt in a pedestrian crash, it’s important to consult with a qualified car accident attorney as soon as possible.
