Causes of Pedestrian Accidents
While pedestrians should always look out for cars while crossing the streets, most people hit by cars are unable to avoid the accident, even when they are following the law and all posted safety signs and signals.
Many accidents happen because of drivers who are:
- Driving recklessly and speeding
- Driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Failing to pay attention or driving while distracted
