Pedestrian accidents are a significant concern in Ontario, as
they are throughout the world. While cars, trucks, and other motor
vehicles have evolved with safety features to protect drivers and
passengers, pedestrians remain vulnerable. The unfortunate reality
is that when vehicles and pedestrians collide, the pedestrian
almost always bears the brunt of the impact, often leading to
severe injuries or even fatalities. This blog aims to shed light on
pedestrian accidents in Ontario, including their causes,
preventative measures, and the legal recourse available to
victims.
