The thought of an accident can leave us all in a panic. If you’re ever involved in one, do your best to remain calm. Moreover, leaving the scene comes with more severe consequences for you. Avoid the trouble and wait for authorities to arrive and tend to those injured.
 

Avoiding Pedestrian Accidents

As roadways continue to clear and walking outside has increased in commonality, pedestrian accident statistics are soaring.
 
However, you can avoid being involved in an accident to avoid dangerous behaviors. Also, make it a habit to always walk on the sidewalk (no jaywalking), stay sober, and make eye contact with drivers. But don’t assume the driver can see you.
 
If you’re a driver, know that pedestrians have the right of way at any crosswalk or intersection. You have to yield and be prepared to stop.
 
“Pedestrian accidents do not occur as much as motor vehicle accidents, but the pedestrian accidents tend to include more serious injuries,” says Tyler Toomey, a practicing attorney at Sweet Lawyers.
