Utah Pedestrian Accident Laws and Injuries

Drivers and motorists not only have a responsibility to yield for pedestrians in crosswalks, but also on sidewalks, in parking lots, and any other locations frequently occupied by both vehicles and pedestrians. Vehicles should do their best when yielding to come to a complete stop so that they may allow any and all pedestrians to safely cross the road without being injured. Drivers should be as diligent as possible by keeping an eye out for pedestrians suddenly appearing near their vehicle, especially in their blind spots.

Unfortunately, automobile accidents involving pedestrians commonly cause long-term injuries and even death. Here are some of the most common pedestrian accident injuries:

• Broken or fractured bones
• Concussions
• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI’s)
• Bruises, contusions, cuts, and scrapes
• Hematomas and/or hemorrhages
• Torn, sprained ligaments and muscles
