Pedestrian Accident Attorney in Winston-Salem
In many cases, pedestrians are seriously injured or even killed when they are hit by a car, truck, or another vehicle. Unfortunately, these accidents are all too common, and they often occur due to driver negligence. If you have been involved in a pedestrian accident, you may be facing significant medical bills, lost wages, and other damages.
Our experienced attorneys can help you fight for the compensation you deserve. We will work diligently to investigate your accident and build a strong case on your behalf.
In recent years, the number of pedestrians who have been injured or killed in traffic accidents has risen sharply. This trend is especially alarming given the fact that pedestrians are relatively defenseless against the force of a motor vehicle.
Even bicyclists and scooter riders, who are often considered to be a nuisance by motorists, are better protected than pedestrians. As a result, it is essential for all road users to exercise caution and care whenever they are sharing the road with pedestrians.

Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents
Every year, thousands of pedestrians are injured or killed in accidents. While there are many potential causes of these accidents, some factors are more common than others.
For example:
- distracted driving is a major contributing factor to pedestrian accidents. When drivers take their eyes off the road, they are more likely to fail to see pedestrians who are crossing the street.
- speeding is another leading cause of pedestrian accidents. Even if a driver sees a pedestrian in time to stop, they may not be able to do so if they are going too fast. Drivers who are speeding are also less likely to yield to pedestrians who have the right of way.
- impaired driving is another contributing factor to many pedestrian accidents. For obvious reasons, driving while impaired can cause the driver to experience slowed reaction times.
