Anybody who becomes <strong>involved in a road traffic accident is likely to suffer some kind of injury<\/strong>, whether it is a minor or fatal injury.<\/p>\n<p>Pedestrians are extremely vulnerable when using the road, and if they become involved in a road traffic accident, the side effects can be fatal. When on the road, pedestrians have no protection. That is why it is extremely important that motorists maintain the duty of care they have towards all road users and pay attention to pedestrians on the highways.<\/p>\n<p>A nine-year-old boy was badly injured when he was hit by a car on his way home from school on a busy Sheffield road &#8211; slammed as <strong>dangerous<\/strong> by residents.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>youngster suffered a fractured skull in the collision<\/strong>. He had just finished his lessons at Primary School when he was hit by a Vauxhall Meriva near a busy junction.<\/p>\n<p>Paul Andrew, 41, who lives nearby, said: &#8220;<em>This was an accident waiting to happen. The road is really dangerous &#8211; I was nearly killed changing my tyre because the road is so busy. It&#8217;s also dangerous when you try to put the kids in the car &#8211; they only miss you by a matter of inches<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Norman Nisbett, 62, of Wordsworth Avenue, said: &#8220;<em>I don&#8217;t know what happened with this collision but there are some people who use the road as a race track. It&#8217;s a long open stretch and they just go hurtling along it. It is terrible at school times, at the start and end of the day when parents are dropping off or collecting children, because they park on both sides of the road. If the motorist involved in this was travelling up the hill I feel sorry for them because the road is notorious for the way the sun sets on the brow of the hill at that time of day at this time of year<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If you or a loved one have been involved in a road traffic accident that wasn\u2019t their fault, you may be able to make an injury compensation claim. If you child is under the age of 18 and becomes injured in an accident that wasn\u2019t their fault, you can make a claim on their behalf.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Road traffic accidents are something we are all aware of, we read about them in the news every day and some of us have either been involved in them or witnessed them.
