It is unfortunate, but there are many pedestrians who fall victim to accidents and injuries in Brookfield every year. According to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, in 2014 there were 1,183 accidents involving pedestrians, with 1,119 reported injuries and 42 fatalities. The injuries suffered by pedestrians involved in motor vehicle accidents are often very severe since there is little to protect them from impact with the vehicle. The pedestrian accident attorneys at Groth Law Firm have represented clients who have been involved in all kinds of accidents, and we are dedicated to getting our clients the compensation that they need.
Pedestrians can be involved in hit and run accidents, or can be struck by a car that has failed to yield, failed to stop, or was going too fast. Drivers often hit pedestrians at intersections when they are not paying attention to the fact that the pedestrian has the right-of-way. Pedestrians are also often hit by vehicles where drivers back out without looking behind the vehicle, or due to speeding in residential areas.
