Even at low speeds, a pedestrian versus vehicle collision is no contest and the pedestrian always fares worst.

If you, a friend or a family member have been involved in a pedestrian accident, remember to document any obvious signs of trauma such as cuts and bruises by taking good quality, well-lit photographs.
