    Various website have data that can give you an idea about how often pedestrian accidents are happening due to the negligence of the drivers. Often the drivers give an excuse of not seeing the person they have hit or that the person suddenly came in front of their cars. But in actual sense, the driver should have been more careful. If you are hit by a car, or any other vehicle on the pedestrian, contact a personal injury lawyer who has specialization in fighting pedestrian accident cases. 

    However, here are some common reasons behind pedestrian accidents. 

    Impaired Drivers 

    Often drivers who are under the influence of drugs and alcohol end up in pedestrian accidents. In the urban areas where there are restaurants and pud, pedestrian accidents occur at those places most often as the drivers get intoxicated before leaving the bars and restaurants. 

    Distracted driving 

    After being told, again and again, drivers tend to use mobiles while they are driving. Using mobile phones often distracts their attention from the road and they end up crashing. Not only mobile phones but if a driver gets distracted due to any other reason, they might cause a pedestrian accident.

    Weather conditions 

    Bad weather conditions make pedestrians slippery and thus it is very important to drive slowly in bad weather. The slippery road or the rainy weather causes low visibility and gives very less time for the driver to stop. 

    Multilane roads 

    Though there are crosswalks on multilane roads, pedestrian accidents are very common. One lane of traffic might stop for the pedestrian but the other lane will keep its motion intact. The intersection can also cause a hazard for old and handicapped pedestrians. 

    Construction sites 

    While road construction, people often get very few places to walk safely. Either they are forced to walk close to the traffic, or even they have to walk on the main road. However, if accidents happen in these cases, the construction company is also liable for the accident.

    Conclusion 

    Now that you know all the reasons behind a pedestrian accident, be careful and conscious while you are driving. Abide by the traffic rules and drive slowly when you are in an overcrowded area. Still, if you are unfortunate enough to end up in an accident, contact a pedestrian accident lawyer.
