Pedestrian accidents are happening more and more. With all the drivers on the road today there seems to be less attention paid to the pedestrian. If you have been involved in an accident where injuries were sustained, make sure that you are very clear about your rights. Even when contacted by an insurance company regarding any benefits or settlements regarding your pedestrian accident, it may be better to have legal representation. Something to consider when pursuing a pedestrian accident case is, who has your best interests in mind, the insurance company or your lawyer.
Other causes include difficulty in transferring (for example, moving from the bed to a chair), poor foot care (Ray 1997), poorly fitting shoes, and inappropriate or incorrect use of walking aids (Tinetti 1987)
