Pedestrian Accidents in Kansas City can be deadly, often leading to severe, life threatening injuries that can affect the victim for the rest of their lives.
A Kansas City man was critically injured when he was struck by a vehicle after stepping off a bus at a stop near 60th and Swope Parkway in Kansas City, Missouri. The man’s injury was considered to be life threatening. He was taken to a local hospital where he was at last check, listed in critical condition.
The experienced Kansas City Auto Injury Lawyers at Roswold Law Group want to remind all motorists about the importance of watching out for pedestrians and bicyclists in Kansas and Missouri. We encourage all drivers to slow down and pay attention, especially when driving through neighborhoods or on streets with pedestrian crossing and bus stops. If you are approaching a pedestrian crossing, slow down and be prepared to stop to allow the pedestrian or bicyclist the right of way. When you come across a bus stopped on the side of the road, whether it be a public transportation bus or a school bus, always be on the look out.
A pedestrian has no protection in the event of a collision with an automobile and these accidents often lead to serious injuries, including head injuries and in some cases, death. Most likely as a motorist, only your car is going to suffer damage if any, but pedestrian accidents can be down right fatal for the pedestrians themselves.
If you or a loved one has suffered a serious injury in an auto accident as a pedestrian in Kansas or Missouri, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses.

Wow, what a tragedy. Does Missouri have as restrictive caps on damages as Kansas?
