Some of the most common causes of pedestrian accidents in Michigan include:
Pedestrian accidents can result in a wide range of injuries due to the vulnerability of pedestrians on the road. When vehicles strike pedestrians, the consequences can be severe. Here are some of the most common injuries sustained in pedestrian accidents:
Fractures are a frequent outcome, affecting various parts of the body, including limbs, pelvis, and spine. These fractures can vary in severity, from simple fractures to more complex compound fractures.
Pedestrians often suffer from soft tissue injuries such as bruises, sprains, strains, and contusions. These injuries can cause damage to muscles, ligaments, and tendons, leading to pain and discomfort.
Head injuries, including traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and concussions, are common in pedestrian accidents. Skull fractures and internal brain bleeding can have serious and long-lasting consequences.
Spinal cord injuries, or SCIs, can result in paralysis, affecting a person’s ability to move and feel. These injuries can be life-altering and require extensive medical care. Even when they do not result in paralysis, they can leave victims with extremely serious medical consequences and substantial economic and non-economic losses.
Whiplash injuries, which cause neck and upper back pain, are frequently seen in pedestrian accidents. Additionally, pedestrians may suffer from herniated discs and spinal cord compression, leading to chronic pain.
Pedestrian accidents can cause internal injuries, including damage to organs such as the liver, kidney, or spleen. Internal bleeding is also a risk, which can be life-threatening if not promptly treated.
Deep cuts and lacerations are common in pedestrian accidents and may require stitches. Proper wound care is crucial to prevent infection and minimize scarring.
Pedestrian accident survivors may experience psychological trauma, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and emotional distress.
Pedestrian accidents can occur in various locations throughout Michigan.
A pedestrian accident can leave you with extremely serious injuries, which can lead to substantial losses. Thankfully, under Michigan law, if a driver’s negligence caused your accident, you can recover compensation for these losses.
Some examples of the specific damages pedestrian accident victims often seek include:
