What causes Reno pedestrian accidents?

When motorists don’t properly share the road, the risk for an accident immediately increases. Pedestrians have the least amount of physical protection, and face a high likelihood that injury will occur when involved in a pedestrian accident. A pedestrian’s negligence in crossing a roadway safely can also cause an accident, but more common scenarios that might cause a pedestrian accident include:

Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
Fatigued driving
Failure to yield to pedestrians in crosswalk or intersection
Distracted or careless driving
Pedestrian visibility

Pedestrian injuries in an accident with a motor vehicle can be life-altering, and damages can include high current and future medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
