Pedestrian Accidents in New Hampshire
Intersections like Beech St and Bridge St in Manchester are known for steady vehicle and foot traffic, particularly in the evening hours. Pedestrian-involved crashes often occur due to reduced visibility, driver distraction, or failure to yield at crosswalks. At night, low lighting conditions can make it more difficult for both drivers and pedestrians to see each other, increasing the risk of accidents.
Pedestrians are encouraged to use designated crosswalks and remain vigilant when crossing busy roadways, while drivers must stay alert, reduce speed near intersections, and yield to pedestrians in accordance with traffic laws.
Injuries resulting from pedestrian accidents can range from minor to severe, often leading to significant medical expenses and long-term recovery needs. Seeking legal assistance can help victims understand their rights and options for compensation.
