St. Louis Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

U.S. Pedestrian Accident Statistics

As driver distractions continue to increase in this technologically-advanced age, the risk for pedestrian accidents also increases. Cellular phones, complex navigation devices and in-car DVD entertainment systems make it easier than ever for a motorist to get into an accident while driving, and many times the victim is not someone in another vehicle but someone who is traveling on foot. 60,000 Americans are injured in pedestrian accidents every year, and an additional 5,000 are killed. That equates to roughly 1 pedestrian accident occurring every eight minutes.  In addition to driver distraction, driver inattentiveness is also occasionally to blame for these accidents, as is aggressive/dangerous driving on the part of motorists. The injuries sustained by pedestrians are often very severe; they may suffer from broken bones, brain and spinal trauma and internal injuries.

If you have been involved in a pedestrian accident in which you sustained an injury, then it is crucial you contact a St. Louis personal injury attorney who can thoroughly review your accident and fight those responsible for the injury compensation you are rightly due.
