The Seriousness Of Pedestrian Accident Injuries
Car accidents involving pedestrians often result in catastrophic injuries. Unlike drivers, pedestrians lack the protection of a metal frame. This makes them vulnerable to severe harm when a vehicle collides with them. Common injuries include:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones
- Internal organ damage
- Severe lacerations
- Emotional trauma
These injuries can lead to long-term physical and emotional suffering. They often require extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation. Recovering from such injuries can take months to years if complete physical recovery is possible. Survivors or the surviving loved ones of victims may face hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills and other damages.
Understanding Pedestrian Rights In Kentucky
Kentucky law provides specific rights to pedestrians. These rights aim to ensure your safety on the roads. For instance, vehicles must yield to pedestrians in crosswalks. Pedestrians in Kentucky also have the right to walk along roads where sidewalks are unavailable. However, pedestrians must walk on the left side facing traffic.
While the laws are there to protect you, many motorists do not bother to follow the law. Drivers may violate your rights, leading to dangerous situations that cause injuries. Understanding your rights is crucial when pursuing a claim. We can assess your circumstances and determine whether you have an actionable case.
