Pedestrian accidents are dangerous for a number of reasons. As a pedestrian, you are completely exposed to the force of a vehicle. You do not have the luxury of airbags and seatbelts for protection. This not only increases the chances of physical injuries but also the psychological trauma that accompanies these accidents.
Drivers have a responsibility to take care when driving and to be aware of pedestrians. However, drivers can be distracted for a number of reasons. Cell phones, speeding, alcohol and general inattention can cause accidents in the blink of an eye.
