Unfortunately, the drivers of vehicles are not the only victims in car accidents. Auto-related pedestrian accidents are more common than you might think. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2012, 14 percent of all auto accident fatalities in the United States were pedestrians. In Baltimore City, Maryland, alone, 22 percent of those killed in automobile accidents in 2012 were pedestrians.

This does not even take into account the number of people who sustain serious injuries when they are struck by a motor vehicle while walking on the sidewalk, alongside the road, or crossing the street. If the person driving was under the influence of drugs or alcohol, speeding, driving recklessly, or otherwise negligently operating a vehicle, he or she could be held liable.
