Pedestrian Accident Injuries
Pedestrian accident injuries can be dangerous and traumatic experiences to walk through and can pose health and safety risks to all that are involved. Statistics tell us that a pedestrian is injured in an accident approximately every 6 minutes. Pedestrians are considerably disadvantaged on and near the road because they are afforded no insulation from other vehicles and cyclists. If they are to be involved in an accident of any kind, they will almost surely be more dramatically impacted than the other actors. The structures that exist around those traveling in cars and the speed that being on wheels allows for.
Studies have shown that most pedestrian accident injuries occur to the lower limbs. Less common are injuries to the head/neck and arms, but they are still far and away more likely than thoracic ailments. These injuries combined are responsible for thousands of deaths each year.
Wherever your pedestrian accident injury may be and no matter the severity, our team of dedicated orthopedic doctors and chiropractors can help to assess the damage to your body and craft a plan to restore you to health and mobility once again.
Despite these facts, pedestrian accident injuries do occur and results from them have reached numbers in the tens of thousands in recent years.
