Common types of pedestrian accidents

Pedestrian accidents can happen anywhere — especially in Texas. Most years, hundreds of people die in Texas pedestrian accidents.

There are many types of pedestrian crashes, including:

Midblock, art/dash — Pedestrian suddenly runs into traffic.
Multiple threat — Pedestrian is struck by one vehicle while another is stopped. An example of this would be when a car on a two-lane street stops for a pedestrian to cross, but the vehicle in the other lane going the same direction does not and hits the person on foot.
Mailbox or other midblock — Accident occurs while pedestrian is getting into or out of a stopped vehicle, crossing the street to check the mail, get a newspaper, or some other quick tasks.
Working or playing on the road
Failure to yield (no traffic signal or signage) — These happen when a pedestrian crosses the road in a place where there is no signal or crosswalk. The motorist either did not yield to the pedestrian or the person on-foot went into traffic in the path of an oncoming vehicle.
Bus-related — Injured while crossing in front of a bus, going to or from school via a bus stop, going to or from waiting for a bus.
Intersection — A driver turns or drives through an intersection while a pedestrian is attempting to cross that part of the road.
Walking along roadway
Not in road — The crash takes place in a parking lot, on the sidewalk or in a similar situation.
Backing vehicle — Pedestrian is struck by a backing vehicle on a street, driveway, sidewalk, parking lot, etc.
Crossing expressway — Pedestrian is crossing a limited-access expressway (a highway with between two and eight lanes) or on/off ramps.

Many studies say that the number of fatal pedestrian accidents has greatly increased since SUVs became popular. SUVs are incredibly dangerous to pedestrians because of their higher profile.
