Dangers of Pedestrian Knockdowns

Unlike other motor vehicle accidents, a pedestrian knockdown can cause serious damage even at a low speed. This is because a pedestrian is absolutely unprotected by any airbag, seatbelt, or other safety defense—even just the steel cage of the motor vehicle. Pedestrians who are hit by a motor vehicle can be catastrophically injured or wrongfully killed even at low speeds in parking lots.

Moreover, pedestrians are also most likely to become seriously injured or wrongfully killed due to the fact that head injuries are common. This is because a pedestrian’s head is likely to come into contact with the hood of a vehicle or into the windshield. This can result in catastrophic injury such as a traumatic brain injury or TBI. Victims hit by a car in New Mexico that suffer a TBI should call our hit by car lawyer in Albuquerque to protect their rights to compensation.
