Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrian accidents can happen for a range of reasons, including:
- Distracted Driving: Drivers distracted by mobile phones or other activities frequently fail to see pedestrians.
- Speeding: Excessive speed reduces a driver's ability to react quickly to avoid hitting a pedestrian.
- Impaired Driving: Alcohol or drug impairment impairs judgment and reaction time, leading to accidents.
- Failure to Yield: Drivers failing to yield at crosswalks or intersections can cause serious pedestrian injuries.
- Running Red Lights: Disregarding traffic signals can lead to accidents involving pedestrians in crosswalks.
- Poor Visibility: Insufficient street lighting or adverse weather conditions can reduce visibility for drivers and pedestrians.
