Pedestrian Accidents in Maryland
Pedestrian-involved accidents are particularly dangerous due to the lack of protection for those on foot. Urban areas like Annapolis see a high frequency of these incidents, often caused by distracted driving, speeding, failure to yield, or poor visibility.
When a pedestrian is struck, injuries can be severe, ranging from fractures to life-threatening trauma. Victims may require extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term care. In many cases, determining liability is crucial, as negligence—whether on the part of the driver, pedestrian, or external factors like road design—can impact legal options.
For those injured in pedestrian accidents, seeking immediate medical attention is critical, as some injuries may not be immediately apparent. Additionally, understanding legal rights can help victims secure compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
