Pedestrian Accidents in Pennsylvania 

In 2020, it was reported that 2,788 pedestrians were injured in Pennsylvania accidents and dozens even lost their lives.

Pedestrians are some of the most vulnerable individuals on our roads in the state of Pennsylvania. This is due to the fact that, in the event of an accident involving a vehicle, pedestrians have no protection from harm making them more likely to become critically injured or even killed in the event of a pedestrian accident. 

Putting your life back together after a pedestrian accident is never an easy thing to do on your own, especially considering the extended recovery times that most victims require. Speaking with an attorney is in your best interests during these difficult times.

Pedestrian accidents often lead to some very serious injuries, including:  

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
• Damage to internal organs
• Paralysis
