Take Care?

The number of pedestrian accidents has been on
the rise recently. Over the past decade, more
pedestrians have died and were injured by motor
vehicles than ever before. Without a doubt,
pedestrians belong to high high-risk groups on
the road. The only way of staying safe is to use
roads and infrastructure properly. Here are some
safety points that will help keep all pedestrians
safe

• Walking with care
• Being fully aware of your surroundings
• Always looking towards the oncoming traffic
• Never assume that the driver has seen you
• Always looking both left and right before
  crossing the road
• Crossing the street only at crosswalks (the white
  painted lines)
• Obeying the traffic signals
• Stopping before crossing the street

Simple Actions

• Wearing bright clothing (it may be hard for a
  driver to spot you, especially if you are wearing
  darker colors. If you are walking in the areas
  with little to no light, be sure to wear clothes
  that reflect lights)
• Staying on the lookout for turning traffic
• Holding your children by the hands whenever you
  are close to the crosswalk
• Using the sidewalk for morning or afternoon runs
• Avoiding crossing the roads between parked cars

Teach Your Children
The right way of conveying the knowledge to your
children will help protect them from an unwanted
accident. Teach your children to look at their
left and right several times before crossing the
street, and never to run across the street. Most
children panic when they see a car approaching.
Some will immediately run across the street,
while others may freeze in place and risk getting
hit by the vehicle. Sadly, almost 35 percent of
all pedestrians hit by motor vehicles are
children.

Do Not Walk Around Drunk
Alcohol will impair all your senses, and make you
vulnerable to many different things, including
accidents. If you drink and decide to go for a
walk, even though it may seem like a good idea to
clear your thoughts, it is not. The worst part
is if you get hit by a motor vehicle while
intoxicated, you could be held responsible for
the accident.

Hire An Attorney
These simple actions will help keep you safe on
the road. However, they do not guarantee that you
will not get hit by a motor vehicle. They only
increase your safety. If you do get hit by a
motor vehicle, be sure to call pedestrian
accident attorneys in Los Angeles right away.
Their expertise and knowledge will be put to good
use, and before you know it, you will receive
compensation for your injuries. In the meantime,
focus on your recovery and your general wellbeing.
