Alabama Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

Pedestrian Injuries and Auto Accidents

When a pedestrian is involved in an auto accident, the results may be catastrophic. A typical passenger vehicle, truck, SUV or any motor vehicle may weigh anywhere from 2,000 to 5,000 pounds or more. A large commercial truck may weigh 10,000 to 80,000 pounds. When pitted against a pedestrian who may weigh a mere 120 to 200 pounds, it is easy to see why the pedestrian will sustain the brunt of the impact while the vehicle may sustain little to no damage at all.
