While pedestrians almost always have the right of way, most people gladly sacrifice this right when an impatient or distracted driver refuses to yield. Unfortunately, as a pedestrian, it is sometimes impossible to completely protect yourself from an oncoming car. An average of eight Minneapolis pedestrians are killed every year. Nationwide, a pedestrian is killed every two hours and one is injured every seven minutes. Drivers are almost always at fault in these types of accidents. If you or a loved one was killed or injured while walking on the street, contact an experienced Minneapolis car accident attorney.
Pedestrians struck by vehicles are at high risk for major injuries because they have no safety equipment. Common injuries to pedestrians hit by cars include:
Broken bones
Head trauma
Road rash
Nerve damage
Fractured bones
Injured ligaments
