Pedestrian Accident Brain Injury

Head injury a serious risk in pedestrian accidents

Pedestrians, like bicycle riders, face a real threat of serious injury if struck by a car or truck. One of the most serious forms of injury for a pedestrian is a traumatic brain injury (TBI), which can be devastating and leave a victim with permanent injuries. When a pedestrian is struck by a vehicle, he or she typically is hit by the front of the car, propelled into the air and hits the windshield or roof of the vehicle.

The sudden impact of the head onto a hard surface can cause the brain to bruise, bleed or tear and may even turn fatal if not treated immediately.

Studies have found that more than half of the people involved in a pedestrian accident sustained some sort of head injury. The head injury may either be an open-head brain injury (an object penetrates the skull) or a closed-head brain injury (the head was injured, but the skull did not break).

It's important to seek medical attention immediately if you are involved in a pedestrian accident. In some cases, a victim's head may look normal, but the internal bleeding or swelling of the brain is not apparent without further medical tests.
