The Dangers Surrounding Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrian accidents are some of the most dangerous types of personal injury accidents. This is due to the fact that unlike a car accident, where the passengers of each involved vehicle are typically wearing seat belts, or have air bags that deploy in order to help protect them in the event of an accident, there is nothing to protect a pedestrian in a similar situation. Although there are some who ...
