Common Injuries in Pedestrian Accidents
Some of the most common injuries in pedestrian accidents include:
- Lower extremity fractures: Because of where the bumper often strikes the body, many pedestrian accident victims experience femur, tibia, fibula, ankle, and pelvic fractures.Â
- Traumatic brain injuries: A pedestrian’s head could be struck by the vehicle or could hit the ground after being hit by a car, causing a TBI that results in lasting impairment
- Internal organ damage: The liver, spleen, kidneys, and lungs are among the organs most likely to be damaged as the body absorbs the full impact of a pedestrian crash with no protection.Â
- Soft tissue damage: This can include sprains, strains, ligament tears, severe bruising, and cuts.Â
- Road rash: When a pedestrian strikes the road, the skin can scrape violently along the pavement, causing road rash. Permanent disfigurement and infection are real risks.
- Spinal cord damage: With no protection from the impact, pedestrians often suffer damage to the spinal cord either from the force of the vehicle striking them or when they hit the ground because of the accident.Â
These are just some of the many injuries that pedestrians often experience. These injuries are often life-changing and expensive to treat. They can also impact your ability to work and provide for yourself and your loved ones.
