Pedestrian struck while crossing street; Road design to blame?
A woman was struck by a car while crossing the street this morning in Toms River, New Jersey. (see story at APP.com). Nearly ten years ago, a young girl was struck and killed in the same intersection. Residents report an unusually high number of auto accidents at this particular intersection, and blame the "People making lefts into and out of Highland Parkway" for the high number of auto, pedestrian and bicycle accidents at this intersection.

I think the road design is certainly to be blamed for the unusually high number of auto, car, pedestrian & bicycle accidents occurring at that particular intersection. It is the lack of road maintenance & faulty road design which contributes towards growing number of road accidents. Sadly, such accidents leave the pedestrian severely or fatally injured. They may struck by a car, truck or bus & get an ever-growing percentage of fatal and non-fatal injuries in return. Dangers wait for pedestrians in many forms on the road. Most of these accidents occur where no traffic signals are present. Some cases involve children running out into the street, people crossing against the normal flow of traffic, or crossing between intersections. In fact, intersections scored highest as the most likely location for a pedestrian accident. However, contacting an experienced & established personal injury lawyer will help you make compensation claims immediately. For more information visit Personal injury lawyers .
