Pedestrian Accidents in Maryland
Pedestrian-involved accidents remain a serious concern in Maryland, particularly in urban areas like Annapolis, where intersections and high-traffic roadways increase the likelihood of such incidents. Many pedestrian crashes occur due to driver distraction, excessive speed, or failure to yield at crosswalks, though poor lighting and adverse weather conditions can also be contributing factors.
In cases where pedestrians are struck by vehicles, injuries can range from minor to life-threatening, depending on the force of impact. Even if injuries seem minor initially, victims should seek medical evaluation to rule out internal trauma or delayed symptoms.
Victims of pedestrian accidents may face medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and financial hardships. Seeking medical care, documenting the incident, and consulting with legal professionals can help ensure proper support and fair compensation.
