Pedestrian Accidents in Raleigh
Pedestrian-involved crashes are an increasing concern in growing metropolitan areas like Raleigh. According to the North Carolina Department of Transportation, pedestrian-related accidents are among the most severe, often resulting in serious or fatal injuries due to the lack of protection for those on foot.
Intersections such as Green Road and New Hope Church Road pose additional risks for pedestrians due to multiple lanes of traffic, turning vehicles, and drivers failing to yield at crosswalks. Common causes of pedestrian accidents include driver distraction, speeding, and low visibility conditions.
To enhance pedestrian safety, both drivers and pedestrians should exercise caution at intersections. Drivers should remain alert, reduce speed in high-foot-traffic areas, and yield to pedestrians in crosswalks. Pedestrians should use designated crossing areas, remain aware of their surroundings, and make eye contact with drivers before crossing.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a pedestrian accident, seeking medical attention and understanding your legal rights is essential. Victims may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
