Though very sad, it is not surprising that this man is now in critical condition. This is because pedestrian accidents frequently lead to fatalities and catastrophic injuries. We have seen many accidents involving pedestrians in recent weeks. Some have involved possible distracted driving. Others have involved failure to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks. Still others have involved criminal behavior. Some of the things that all of these victims and/or their families may have in common, however, are expensive medical bills, lost wages, inability to go back to work, and pain and suffering.
