Pedestrian Accidents in Montgomery
All forms of driver negligence can incite a pedestrian-involved accident. People who ride bicycles or walk are often injured at intersections, where drivers fail to observe them in a crosswalk. Some sources of pedestrian-involved accidents include failing to stop for a red light or a stop sign, driving drunk, turning without checking the crosswalk, and distractions such as texting or talking on a cellphone.
Tens of thousands of people are hospitalized each year in our state for debilitating injuries like broken bones, spinal cord injuries, neck injuries, and traumatic brain injuries. In many cases, victims require emergency medical assistance and have to spend weeks in area hospitals to recover. After being released from hospitals, victims have to continue going to therapy for months.
Even though we would like to believe that every person is able to recover from their injuries, thousands of people sustain injuries that leave them permanently disabled. The mental, physical, and financial consequences of accidents are often overwhelming for victims and their families.
