Pedestrian Accidents in Wisconsin
Pedestrian-involved accidents can result in serious injuries, even if the victim initially declines medical attention. Adrenaline and shock can mask pain, and some injuries—such as concussions or internal trauma—may not present symptoms immediately. It is always recommended that individuals involved in pedestrian crashes seek a full medical evaluation.
Hit-and-run accidents are particularly concerning, as they leave victims without immediate support and complicate the process of holding responsible parties accountable. Wisconsin law imposes severe penalties for drivers who flee the scene of an accident involving injury. Authorities rely on witness statements, surveillance footage, and other investigative methods to track down those responsible.
