Pedestrian Accidents in Maryland
Pedestrian-involved accidents are a growing concern in Maryland, particularly in areas like Mount Airy, where roadways may lack designated crosswalks or adequate lighting. Collisions between vehicles and pedestrians often result in serious injuries, as individuals on foot are far more vulnerable to impact forces.
Crashes of this nature frequently occur due to driver inattention, speeding, or failure to yield. Similarly, pedestrians can reduce their risk by using designated crossings, staying visible, and being aware of traffic patterns before stepping onto roadways.
Victims of pedestrian accidents often face long recovery periods, extensive medical expenses, and emotional trauma. Understanding your rights and options after such an incident is crucial in navigating the path to recovery.
