Have you been hit by a car or bicycle?

As a pedestrian, you are much more vulnerable to serious injury if hit by a car. Should a driver be distracted and fail to see you jogging, walking your dog or crossing a street they may be 100% responsible for your injuries and you are entitled to compensation.

In 2017, 5,376 pedestrians were killed in traffic crashes in the United States. This averages to one crash-related pedestrian death every 1.6 hours.

Additionally, almost 129,000 pedestrians were treated in emergency departments for non-fatal crash-related injuries in 2015. Pedestrians are 1.5 times more likely than passenger vehicle occupants to be killed in a car crash on each trip.
