Pedestrian struck by motorist | Ohio pedestrian accident attorneys

Client was a pedestrian walking to her car in a bank parking lot when she was struck by a motorist.  Upon impact she struck her head on the pavement. Client suffered multiple injuries.

In this case, the client was specially in trouble because she was hit by a car and struck her head on the ground. The force of the impact would have been enough to cause serious brain injury, although thankfully that did not happen here.   The force from a car is enough to shatter human bone, and the person being thrown from the scene and striking the ground is enough to force another set of ground impact injuries. When you combine the injuries from initial impact with the vehicle with the subsequent impact injuries with the ground, it is understandable why pedestrian accidents in Ohio can lead to much more serious injuries on average than car accidents.  You can walk away from a 5 MPH fender bender when you are in a car, but the same impact on a walking pedestrian can be massive. As you know physics states that the force of impact equals mass of the object hitting you and the acceleration of the object hitting you. With a heavy car, you do not need much speed to cause catastrophic damage, including death. Common sense tells you this.  In my experience, I have seen some of the worst injuries suffered by pedestrians.  If you are not thrown from the scene, you may end up under the car and crushed. These sets of injuries in my experience usually are fatal if not treated quickly.
