The streets of Boston and the surrounding Massachusetts communities are often filled with activity that poses a very real threat to the safety of pedestrians, who share public streets with cars, trains, busses, bicyclists, and other vehicles. Unfortunately, the rules of the road are not always understood or observed by motorists and the pedestrian right-of-way at stop signs and crosswalks are often ignored, resulting in accidents injuring pedestrians.

Pedestrians have no physical barriers to protect themselves when they are hit by a car, truck, or other vehicles, so they are very susceptible to injury. Pedestrian accidents can result in injuries including:

• Broken bones
• Skin burns
• Spinal cord injuries
• Brain injuries
• Severe cuts and bruises
• Fatalities

If you have been involved in a pedestrian accident in Massachusetts, it is often in your best interest to contact a Boston pedestrian accident lawyer.
