Types of Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrian-Vehicle Collisions

The most common types of traffic accidents involve pedestrians hit by a car. These happen when a pedestrian is struck by a motor vehicle while crossing the street or walking along the side of the road. Pedestrian-vehicle collisions occur from a variety of factors, including driver distraction, speeding, failing to yield the right-of-way, impaired driving, and failing to obey traffic signs and signals.

Dooring Accidents

A phenomenon known as “dooring.” Dooring occurs when a driver or passenger opens a vehicle door without checking for oncoming cyclists or pedestrians. This can cause the cyclist or pedestrian to swerve into traffic to avoid the open door. Dooring accidents result in serious injuries and fatalities and are especially common in areas with heavy bicycle traffic.

Pedestrian-Bicycle Collisions

These types of accidents can occur in urban areas, on sidewalks, and even in crosswalks. With the prevalence of today’s speedy electric bikes, pedestrian/bicycle collisions can cause serious injuries, including head and neck trauma, as well as broken bones.

Common Pedestrian Accident Injuries

Pedestrians suffer many of the types of injuries also experienced by vehicle occupants involved in collisions, but the injuries incurred by people hit by a car while walking tend to be debilitating. Some of the most common injuries suffered in pedestrian accidents include:

Spinal Cord Injuries: Injuries to the spinal cord often have long-term disabling consequences because this vital part of the body transmits signals between the brain and body.

Lacerations: The location and severity of lacerations can mean permanent disfigurement, infection risks, and severe pain.

Bone Fractures: Because pedestrians lack any significant form of protection from injury, they can suffer compound fractures that require the insertion of medical appliances like pins and screws, as well as surgical procedures.

Injuries to the Pelvis: Depending on the design of the hood of a vehicle, pedestrians hit by a distracted driver can suffer one of several kinds of pelvic injuries/fractures.

Head Injuries: When a pedestrian suffers head trauma, damage to the brain can mean impaired cognitive functioning, permanent disability, and potentially death.

Internal Injuries: Many internal injuries like rib fractures, damage to vital organs, internal bleeding, or brain bleeds can be serious and even life-threatening.

What “It’s Personal” Means to the People We’ve Helped

 

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to file?

Not much. The time limit for filing a personal injury claim in the state of Arizona depends on the type of case and if the case will be filed against a government agency or municipality.  In most personal injury cases, a claimant has two years from the date of the accident to file a claim against the at-fault party. The statute of limitations are explained in A.R.S. § 12-541 et seq.  If the claimant is filing against a municipality or government agency, the time to file may be only six months. Failing to file your claim within the applicable statute of limitations is likely to terminate your right for recovery.

What if I was outside a crosswalk or partially at fault?

Arizona’s pure comparative negligence still allows recovery. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. Don’t assume you don’t have a case, let us evaluate the facts.

Do I have a claim if the driver fled or had no insurance?

Often, yes. We can pursue Uninsured Motorist (UM)/ Underinsured Motorist (UIM) coverage and investigate other responsible parties.

Who pays my medical bills while the case is pending?

We coordinate benefits (health insurance, med-pay, liens) and pursue reimbursement as part of your settlement or verdict.
