  1. Walking: It Is More Dangerous Than You Might Imagine

  2. When you think of dangerous sports and activities, walking probably does not come to mind, but safety reports show that walking is in fact a dangerous activity in Los Angeles, throughout California, and across the country. Pedestrians face dangers every day and even though it is not possible to avoid all accidents, it is possible to reduce your risk of injury when out for a walk.

  3. Some Ways To Reduce Your Risk For A Pedestrian Injury

  4. 01 02 03 Pay attention when crossing driveways and alleys because often vehicles pull out looking for other vehicles on the road rather than pedestrians on the sidewalk. Walking under the influence may not be illegal, but a large percentage of pedestrian accidents occur when the pedestrian has been drinking. Walk on roads with sidewalks when you can and avoid roads that do not have sidewalks.

  5. 04 05 Cross the street at nearby crosswalks when available and do not assume that just because you have the right of way, cars on the road are going to stop. It is a good idea to make eye contact with drivers so that you know that they see you. Watch out for the bicycle lane. Often pedestrians are so focused on cars in the road that they forget to look out for bicycles as they attempt to cross the street. Pedestrians can suffer serious injuries in bicycle accidents.

  6. 06 Look around parked trucks and other obstructions that may be blocking a driver’s view of you before stepping out in a crosswalk. 07 Make yourself visible at night by wearing light colored reflective clothes and wear a headlamp or carry a flashlight, especially when street lighting is poor. 08 When there are no nearby marked crosswalks, cross at intersections, even if that means taking the long way, instead of crossing in the middle of the road.

  7. Pedestrian Accident Liability Hire An Attorney Liable parties in pedestrian accidents may include government entities, automobile drivers, and property owners.
