Pedestrian Accidents in Michigan

Pedestrian accidents are a serious concern in Michigan, often resulting in severe injuries or fatalities. According to state data, hundreds of pedestrians are struck by vehicles each year, with many incidents occurring in busy intersections or areas with limited visibility.

Some of the most common causes of pedestrian accidents include:

• Hit-and-Run Drivers: Fleeing the scene of a crash is illegal and leaves victims without immediate aid. Identifying these drivers is crucial for ensuring accountability.
• Failure to Yield: Many pedestrian accidents happen when drivers ignore crosswalks or fail to yield to pedestrians at intersections.
• Distracted Driving: Drivers who are texting, eating, or adjusting navigation systems may not notice pedestrians in time to avoid a crash.
• Speeding: Higher speeds reduce reaction time and increase the severity of injuries when a pedestrian is struck.

After a pedestrian accident, victims often face significant medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional trauma. Seeking legal assistance can help ensure they receive the compensation they need.
