Pedestrian Accidents in Michigan
Pedestrian accidents in Michigan often result in severe injuries due to the lack of protection for those on foot. Urban intersections, such as 44th St and Ivanrest Ave, present higher risks due to vehicle congestion and limited pedestrian crossing times.
Michigan law requires drivers to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks and exercise caution in areas with high foot traffic. However, factors such as distracted driving, speeding, and poor visibility can contribute to these devastating incidents.
Victims of pedestrian accidents may face significant medical costs, lost wages, and long-term recovery challenges. In cases of serious injury, legal action may be necessary to seek compensation beyond what insurance covers.
