COMMON INJURIES SUFFERED IN PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENTS
Pedestrian accidents often lead to severe injuries that depend on various factors like the vehicle's speed, the angle of collision, and the body part hit first. With nothing protecting you but the clothes on your back, when a vehicle hits you, you will probably suffer from one or more types of injuries.
Some of the serious injuries that a pedestrian can suffer when hit by cars are:
-
Head injuries, such as concussion and severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) or coma
-
Spinal injuries, including paralysis or loss of some function
-
Facial injuries, including dental injury, eye injury and loss of vision
-
Orthopedic injuries, such as broken bones and damage to other parts of your musculoskeletal system
