Pedestrian Accidents in Charleston
Pedestrian-involved crashes are often severe, as individuals on foot have little protection against moving vehicles. Accidents like the one on Dickinson Street can occur due to driver inattention, failure to yield at crosswalks, or reduced visibility.
To prevent such incidents, both pedestrians and motorists must remain vigilant. Drivers should slow down in pedestrian-heavy areas, avoid distractions, and always yield to those crossing the street. Pedestrians, in turn, should use designated crosswalks, make eye contact with drivers before crossing, and stay aware of their surroundings.
For those injured in pedestrian accidents, seeking immediate medical care and understanding legal rights are crucial steps toward recovery. The aftermath of such an incident can be overwhelming, making access to proper resources and support essential.
