Otherwise, it will be challenging to gauge who is at fault. Overall, pedestrian car accidents can happen for any reason. As such, motorists and pedestrians can both be in the wrong to varying degrees.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<p class=\"EY0Xg W2aKK PuKmT YjabP\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-eecoj\"><span class=\"_1Kc57\"><span>Most pedestrian accidents either occur in areas with limited visibility or traffic controls. For instance, street lights may be broken, reducing a motorist\u2019s ability to see the road. As such, they may accidentally strike a pedestrian.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<p class=\"EY0Xg W2aKK PuKmT YjabP\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-77pec\"><span class=\"_1Kc57\"><span>As per different studies, both pedestrians and motorists look straight rather than to the sides. If a pedestrian appears from the side, a motorist may not see them, especially in environments where visibility is already limited. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<p class=\"EY0Xg W2aKK PuKmT YjabP\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-f9s6e\"><span class=\"_1Kc57\"><span>Visibility is usually reduced due to external circumstances such as weather or road conditions. However, it may also be reduced due to mismanaging car maintenance. For instance, a car owner may fail to fix their tail lights, which will reduce visibility at night.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<p class=\"EY0Xg W2aKK PuKmT YjabP\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-lkh3\"><span class=\"_1Kc57\"><span>A motorist may also be exceeding the local speed limit or driving distractedly.

It is a pedestrian\u2019s job to prevent risk to themselves or others. As such, if a pedestrian jaywalks or ignores traffic signals, the accident cause may lie with them.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><h2 class=\"_26kYc T-jvd PuKmT YjabP\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-27cr1\"><span class=\"E07CK\"><strong style=\"font-weight:700\"><span>What Kind of Injuries Can Occur?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<p class=\"EY0Xg W2aKK PuKmT YjabP\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-5m5b0\"><span class=\"_1Kc57\"><span>If a pedestrian is hit by a car, the injuries can be quite extreme.

Although it may be difficult in the moment to think ahead, one must remember to collect key details from the accident site.
