Understanding Pedestrian Accidents In Chicago

Pedestrian accidents in Chicago frequently occur at busy intersections, particularly in high-traffic areas like the Loop, River North and along major arterial streets. Common accident scenarios include drivers failing to yield at crosswalks, distracted driving incidents and accidents during dawn or dusk when visibility is reduced. Winter months pose additional risks, as shortened daylight hours and weather conditions can make pedestrians more vulnerable.

Common Injuries In Pedestrian Accidents

When pedestrians are struck by vehicles, they have no protection from the impact, leading to devastating injuries that can permanently change lives. The most frequently seen injuries in these accidents include:

  • Traumatic brain injuries and head trauma
  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
  • Multiple fractures and orthopedic injuries
  • Internal organ damage
  • Severe soft tissue injuries

These severe injuries often require extensive medical treatment and lengthy rehabilitation periods and can result in permanent disability. Our team works tirelessly to help victims receive compensation for both immediate and long-term medical needs.
