Pedestrian Accidents - Fighting for Pedestrians Injured by Negligent Drivers.

A pedestrian accident is an unplanned traffic event occurring when a motor vehicle, bicycle, or electric scooter collides with a person who is walking, running, jogging, sitting, or standing on or near a roadway. Because the human body has zero structural protection against a mechanical impact, these incidents are categorized as highly volatile and have the highest rates of severe injury and fatality among all traffic events.

Pedestrians are some of the most vulnerable road users, and accidents often result in severe injuries or fatalities. At Ford Law, we are dedicated to protecting the rights of injured pedestrians.
