The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) designates pedestrians as:
Any person on foot
Walkers
Runners
Joggers
Hikers
Those on bicycles, scooters, and other motorized vehicles may not qualify as pedestrians. However, they can still often pursue justice when they get hit by a motor vehicle. Personal injury lawyers help any client who suffers injuries or loses a loved one because of a motorist’s negligence.
