Drivers who failure to stop or yield at intersections, who drive without the proper care and attention necessary, who drive with an intentional disregard of the traffic rules and regulations, who drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and generally fail to watch for pedestrians crossing the street are the most common causes of pedestrian personal injury accidents. When such a driver attempts to beat a traffic light or drives above the posted speed limit, a pedestrian injury accident is likely to occur. Some accident estimates indicate that over 100,000 pedestrian accidents occur a year, with a great many occurring in Chicago and other cities in Illinois. Thousands of these accidents result in death or serious harm such as traumatic brain injury. Of all the types of automobile accidents, pedestrian and bicycle accidents involving an auto tend to be the most serious. Pedestrians simply are no match against a large, fast-moving auto, and as a result, a great many pedestrian car accidents result in very serious injury or death.
