Pedestrian Accidents in Pennsylvania 

Many individuals choose to walk throughout the state of Pennsylvania. Not only is it a health-conscious mode of transportation, but it can also bring individuals a lot of fun as they see the sights of the area that they are in. Unfortunately, there are risks that come with being a pedestrian that many people are not aware of. That is, until they become involved in a serious pedestrian accident. In 2020 alone, over 145 pedestrians were killed and many others were injured in pedestrian accidents throughout the state. It is never easy to face a pedestrian accident on your own, especially if you have been seriously injured. It is imperative that you speak with an attorney that you can trust at this time.

• Spinal cord injuries
