Reckless drivers are not just a threat to other drivers – they can also cause life threatening pedestrian accidents. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there was a 3% increase in the amount of pedestrians killed in traffic accidents. If you or a loved one are struck by a vehicle as a pedestrian, the experience can be terrifying and because of the speed and weight of even the smallest vehicles, the result of that crash can leave you or a family member dealing with significant and devastating injuries as well as financial burdens.
