City officials in Winston-Salem have been holding public meetings to discuss expanding the bus service or installing a streetcar system so that outlying areas of Winston-Salem would have greater access to downtown. Critics and proponents of the plan have weighed in on both sides, citing costs, the need to improve downtown, and discussing environmental concerns. What has yet to be brought to the fore of the conversation, however, is the increased risk for personal injury (and consequently liability for the city of Winston-Salem) that a streetcar system could pose.

The risk of personal injury while on public transportation is significant, in part because of the large ratio of passengers that are involved. However, with open-air vehicles that have multiple stops where passengers are entering and exiting, that risk is heightened even further. The streetcar plan may help to reinvigorate the downtown area, but it could also serve to increase the rate of personal injury claims against the Transportation Department.

Whether Winston-Salem ends up with a downtown streetcar system or not, victims still suffer injury on our public transportation systems.

Police are not sure what caused Alisha Sellers, 31, to pull her automobile to the side of Hwy 421 and begin walking on the highway, reports WWAY-ABC3 out of Wilmington. She had begun to walk on the southbound side when she was hit by a vehicle driven by James Lewis, Jr. Police do not believe that drugs or alcohol were involved in the accident, but they have ordered toxicology reports. They have not cited the driver in the automobile accident, nor are police sure why the woman exited her vehicle as it did not appear to be broken down or out of gas.

Recent pedestrian accidents in Hickory have resulted in serious injuries for the victims. It is highly unlikely that a pedestrian can escape being hit by a motor vehicle without sustaining some injury not only because of the disproportionate weight of the vehicle in comparison with the pedestrian, but because a pedestrian has to contend not only with the impact from the vehicle but also with the likely subsequent impact with the roadway. It is, for the pedestrian, the equivalent of being in one accident and then another accident immediately after. Besides victims of such accidents, few understand the trauma like a Hickory pedestrian accident attorney.

In addition to broken bones, lacerations, and bruises, it is common for a pedestrian who has been involved in an accident to suffer a concussion or some even more serious brain trauma. For this reason, victims should always contact an attorney if they were injured as a pedestrian in an accident. Physicians often miss diagnosing mild or moderate brain injuries, especially when a pedestrian is transported to the ER with gaping wounds or bones that need urgent attention. An experienced pedestrian accident attorney can help to ensure that all of your injuries are diagnosed and treatment is begun promptly.

Hickory pedestrian accident attorney Carl Nagle has the experience necessary to help pedestrian victims of an accident get the medical care and the monetary compensation that they require. Your injuries from the accident have already caused you enough pain and suffering-wouldn't it be nice to know that someone is actually concerned about your recovery and about getting justice for you?
