Most Common Type of Injuries Following a Pedestrian Accident

Here are some common injuries associated with pedestrian accidents.

• Broken bones – This happens in pedestrian accidents frequently, especially in the lower extremities, but broken bones can happen all over the body.
• Pelvis fracture – If the pelvis is fractured in a pedestrian accident, it can cause limitations to movement and more. This quite serious injury can have lingering issues in the future.
• Tendon or ligament injuries – When your tendons or ligaments are torn, cut, or damaged, it can inhibit mobility, which limits your capacity to work or enjoy life as you once did.
• Concussions – Hitting your head hard enough to cause brain swelling may lead to serious issues like brain damage, coma, or an inability to focus.
• Neck and spine injuries – Both of these injuries can result in a limited capacity to work or move, and may even result in paralysis.
• Skull fracture – Cracking or fracturing your skull may cause brain damage as its job is to protect the brain from trauma.
