The Dangers of Pedestrian Accidents in West Virginia
Collisions involving pedestrians and vehicles often result in severe or life-threatening injuries, as those on foot have little protection against the force of an impact. Early morning accidents, such as the one at N Willey Street and Price Street, can be especially hazardous due to low visibility, driver fatigue, and reduced pedestrian awareness.
Morgantown, home to West Virginia University and a busy student population, experiences significant pedestrian traffic, increasing the risk of accidents in high-foot-traffic areas. Studies show that pedestrian-involved crashes often result in head trauma, fractures, and internal injuries, requiring immediate medical intervention.
For those injured in pedestrian accidents, navigating insurance claims, medical expenses, and legal options can be challenging. Victims may need support in seeking compensation for medical bills, rehabilitation costs, and lost wages following a serious crash.
If you or someone you know has been injured in a pedestrian accident, getting the right guidance can help ensure proper recovery and legal protection.
