Pedestrian Accidents in Norfolk
Pedestrian accidents often lead to serious injuries, especially when the driver leaves the scene. Victims are at heightened risk for head trauma, broken bones, and internal injuries due to the lack of protection when struck by a vehicle.
Bridges and narrow crossings such as Campus Bell Bridge can be especially dangerous, as limited space reduces the ability of drivers to avoid pedestrians. Hit-and-run crashes further complicate recovery by leaving victims without immediate information about the responsible party.
Victims of pedestrian accidents may be entitled to compensation for medical treatment, lost wages, and other damages. Consulting with a personal injury attorney can help ensure that victims’ rights are protected and that appropriate recovery is pursued.
