Compassionate Advocacy For Injured North Carolina Pedestrians

Walking is an easy way to get around Dunn and is a much more health-conscious and environmentally friendly method of transportation. However, as a pedestrian, you are much more vulnerable to a serious accident when you’re out on the street. Even when you exercise caution, drivers on the road may not be as safe, which puts you at greater risk of injury if you’re involved in a crash.

At Hayes, Williams, Turner & Daughtry, P.A., our pedestrian accident lawyers have over 40 years of experience in handling these types of cases. We understand how navigating the legal process of an accident on top of an injury can be especially challenging. It’s our goal to provide the guidance you need to recover compensation that will help with your recovery.

Dedicated To Resolving All Types Of Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrian accidents can occur anywhere, including pedestrians and drivers on the road. Some of the most common types of pedestrian accidents include:

• Crosswalk and intersection accidents: Drivers may fail to yield for pedestrians as they cross the road or run red lights through intersections, which can cause serious collisions.
• Distracted driver accidents: When drivers are distracted by their phones or other passengers, they may not notice changing traffic signals or pedestrians on the road.
• Backing up accidents: Drivers may fail to notice pedestrians walking behind them before backing up their vehicles. These types of accidents can occur in neighborhoods where drivers back out of a driveway or in parking lots as they reverse out of a parking spot.
• Turning accidents: Drivers making right- or left-hand turns often pay more attention to other vehicles than pedestrians who may be crossing the road.

Pedestrians and drivers alike have a responsibility to follow traffic laws and signals to stay safe on the road. However, when negligent drivers cause a serious accident to a pedestrian, they can be held responsible. Pedestrian accidents often result in severe injuries to pedestrians as they lack any protection when struck by a vehicle. Broken bones, traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries are common pedestrian accident injuries, many of which can have long-term and life-changing consequences.

Injured pedestrians may face significant pain and suffering as well as lost wages due to being unable to work. In some cases, where the injuries are permanent, you may be unable to return to work at all. Some injuries, like brain injuries, can have long-lasting impacts, including memory loss, cognitive impairment and personality changes. Spinal cord injuries may result in mobility issues, which may require the use of wheelchairs or other devices.
