Whether roads are packed with rush hour traffic or nearly void of vehicles, there is always the potential for accidents. Roadways can be especially dangerous when cars and pedestrians are on the road at the same time. An auto accident involving a vehicle and a pedestrian can leave victims with serious injuries and can result in death.

For some motorists, knowing the rules of the road and following them do not always go hand in hand. Many drivers exceed the speed limit, pause instead of completely stopping at stop signs and may not pay enough attention to their surroundings. Unfortunately, these and other factors can lead to a car accident and the serious injuries that can come with it.

Being careful can make motorists less vulnerable to accidents, but it does not guarantee that they will be safe. All it takes for an auto accident to happen is one negligent driver. Those who are hurt in an accident due to no fault of their own may feel frustrated that they have to go through pain and suffering because of other people's mistakes. However, there is a way for them to seek justice, and that is to seek compensation from the people who caused the accidents.

When a vehicle strikes a pedestrian, the result is often serious injury or death. Families that lose a loved one to an auto accident can suffer greatly from the loss of companionship. In many cases, the bereaved may be entitled to compensation for pain and suffering, as well as for the loss of the deceased's potential future income.
