Let the experienced and skilled team of personal injury lawyers at the Kiley Law Group help you get your questions answered about pedestrian accidents. These accidents are happening far too often on our streets and highways. Drivers are very distracted these days. Text messaging and other mobile phone activities behind the wheel can end in a fatality. The rates are typically higher in urban areas. This is due to the high-traffic volume of people who are out and about on the sidewalks and streets with vehicles. Urban pedestrian accidents make up 72 percent of the reports. About 69 percent of those injured or killed are male.
