Many pedestrian accidents result from driver inattention, failure to yield, or poor visibility, especially during nighttime hours. Victims of these crashes often suffer severe injuries due to the lack of protection, with elderly individuals being particularly vulnerable. Unfortunately, fatal pedestrian accidents leave families grieving and dealing with financial hardships, including funeral expenses and medical costs.
