The streets in the Twin Cities and surrounding suburbs are getting busier with traffic, pedestrians and bicyclists which have to share the roadways and public spaces. Unfortunately, pedestrians are often left seriously injured when a driver fails to follow the traffic laws and yield to pedestrians who are crossing the street. Pedestrians struck by motor vehicles can suffer a number of different serious and sometimes permanent injuries including neck and back injuries, traumatic brain injury, scars, broken bones, leg injuries and head injuries.
