These injuries lead to major medical bills for victims. If a pedestrian accident victim cannot work while they recover, they could lose the income they need to support themselves. Pedestrian accident victims often sustain major emotional and psychological trauma.

  6. Preventing Crosswalk Pedestrian Crashes In Boston Cross the street only at designated crosswalks or intersections. Make sure that you wait for the “walk” signal before crossing, even if there is no traffic.

  7. Even after a signal indicates that you can walk, do not assume that oncoming drivers see you. Make eye contact with drivers in approaching or stopped vehicles to ensure that they know you are there.

  8. As tempting as it can be to cross the street a little bit earlier than the crosswalk, take the extra time and get to the appropriate crossing. Avoid any distractions while you are walking. Whether you are at a crosswalk or not, your face should not be glued to your cell phone. Distracted walking is dangerous walking.

  9. Even though walking may be safer than driving if you are planning to have a few alcoholic beverages, you still need to understand that alcohol can affect your judgment even when you were walking.

  10. Pedestrians should never have to worry about being harmed due to the careless or negligent actions of a driver on the roadway. If you or a loved one have sustained a pedestrian accident injury that was caused by the negligence of another person, seek legal assistance as soon as possible.
