Traumatic Brain Injury in Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrians struck by vehicles often suffer traumatic brain injuries. Even 'mild' concussions can have life-altering consequences.
Spinal Cord Injuries from Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrian accidents frequently cause devastating spinal cord injuries. Understanding lifetime care needs is crucial for fair compensation.
Broken Bones and Fractures in Pedestrian Accidents
Being struck by a vehicle commonly causes broken legs, pelvises, and arms. Multiple fractures often require surgery and extensive rehabilitation.
Internal Organ Injuries in Pedestrian Accidents
Internal injuries may not be immediately apparent after being hit by a car. Delayed symptoms can be life-threatening if not caught early.
Hip Fractures in Pedestrian Accidents
Hip fractures from pedestrian accidents can be life-changing, particularly for older victims who may never fully recover mobility.
Knee Injuries from Pedestrian Accidents
Vehicle impacts often strike pedestrians at knee height, causing severe ligament tears, fractures, and the need for joint replacement.
Road Rash and Skin Injuries in Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrians thrown or dragged by vehicles suffer severe abrasions. Third-degree road rash requires skin grafts and causes permanent scarring.
