These accidents usually have severe and permanent injuries because your body is not protected as it would be if you were in a vehicle. God forbid that this ever happens to any of us, and there are a few things I believe everyone should know. Only cross the street when it signals that pedestrians can cross because this is the only way the vehicle at fault for the accident will accept liability of your injuries. As you cross the street please walk on the designated pedestrian cross walk, and don’t jaywalk. I was waiting at a cross walk one day when someone started crossing at the wrong time. Everyone was looking down on their phones and without looking up they started crossing following the first person to move. This is dangerous, please make sure the pedestrian signal says walk before you actually move.
