Most Common Pedestrian Accident Injuries

Unfortunately, pedestrian collisions are a serious safety concern in our region. According to information provided by the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV), approximately 125 pedestrian fatalities are reported in traffic accidents in the Commonwealth each year. Thousands more are injured. As pedestrians are exposed, these types of crashes are disproportionately likely to result in serious injuries. Notable types of pedestrian injuries include:  

• Cuts/lacerations; 
• Soft tissue damage, including whiplash;
• Muscle strains;
• Ligament injuries; 
• Fractures and broken bones;
• Back injuries; 
• Concussions/TBIs;
• Internal injuries, including organ damage;
• Amputations; and
• Spinal cord damage. 

Who is Liable for a Pedestrian Collision in Virginia?

Virginia is a fault-based auto accident jurisdiction, including for pedestrian collisions. In effect, this means that the party who was responsible for causing an accident due to carelessness, recklessness, or negligence can be held legally liable for resulting injuries. Most pedestrian accidents in Frederick County are caused by negligent drivers. Though, other parties—including trucking companies, highway designers, and vehicle manufacturers—may also bear full or partial liability. Some common examples of drive negligence include: 

• Speeding;
• Running red lights;
• Running stop signs; 
• Failure to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk;
• Failure to yield to a pedestrian at an intersection; 
• Distracted driving, including texting while driving; and
• Intoxicated driving, including drunk driving and drugged driving. 

To be clear, a driver who hits a pedestrian is not automatically liable for the accident. A plaintiff in a pedestrian accident lawsuit must prove fault. As a pedestrian in Virginia, you also have a legal obligation to act in a safe manner when you are in and around roadways. All serious pedestrian accidents should be comprehensively investigated by an experienced Winchester, VA personal injury attorney.
