How to Prevent Pedestrian Accidents

People choose to walk for a variety of reasons. Some walk around the neighborhood to get some exercise while many others walk from place to place in crowded downtown areas or even to the local store as opposed to driving a vehicle, due to the impact on the environment. While walking is very beneficial to one’s health, it can also be dangerous during the morning and evenings because of the decreased visibility that accompanies low-light conditions. This can lead to an elevated risk of being struck by a motor vehicle while traveling on foot.

If you or someone you know has been injured while walking, you may be eligible for financial compensation. Contact the Waco pedestrian accident lawyers at the Law Offices of Vic Feazell, P.C. at 877-948-4842 today to schedule a free consultation to discuss your legal options.

Preventing Pedestrian Accidents

Thousands of pedestrians are killed or injured every year in the United States. Many of these accidents happen at intersections at night. To decrease your risk of an accident, be sure to:

• Walk on sidewalks as much as possible

• If you walk at night or in the early morning, bring a flashlight and wear bright or even reflective clothing

• Always use crosswalks at intersections

You may not always be able to avoid an accident, but you can significantly reduce your risk by following these guidelines.
