Pedestrian Accidents in Montana
The vast majority of pedestrians take regular safety measures while crossing the roadway. A few things pedestrians can do to protect themselves along our streets include walking at a steady, quick pace, staying away from crowded areas, and using crosswalks rather than jaywalking.
Sadly, a careless driver may still cause injuries to even the safest pedestrian. Even worse, when a motorist shows complete disdain for the safety of others, pedestrian accidents occur. What’s more, serious injuries and even fatalities frequently result from these incidents, given the complete lack of protection that people walking on foot have compared to vehicle motorists.
