Pedestrian Accident Injuries in Aliso Viejo, CA

Being struck by a vehicle as a pedestrian is one of the most traumatic accident scenarios because the human body has no structural protection against the impact forces involved. Even at speeds as low as 20 miles per hour, a pedestrian-vehicle collision can produce severe spinal injuries, pelvic fractures, knee ligament tears, and extensive soft-tissue damage. The initial point of contact — often the bumper striking the legs or hips — sends a shockwave through the entire musculoskeletal system, while the secondary impact of hitting the ground or the vehicle itself compounds the damage. Many pedestrian accident survivors focus on the most visible injuries while overlooking the spinal misalignments and disc injuries that cause chronic pain months later.
