Click here to read an important article about Pedestrian Accidents.

There are more than 110,000 pedestrian injuries occurring in the United States annually, as well as over 60,000 pedestrian deaths taking place. Young children and the elderly are the most vulnerable for pedestrian accident related injuries. Almost half of the deaths due to pedestrian injuries take place between 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., which is the time directly following the end of a school day.

The following are 2004 pedestrian accident statistics:

  • 4,641 pedestrians died as the result of auto accidents
  • Approximately 70% of pedestrian fatalities were males
  • 68,000 pedestrians were injured in traffic accidents
  • A pedestrian dies in a traffic accident every 113 minutes
  • Every 8 minutes a pedestrian suffers motor vehicle caused injuries

Driver negligence is the cause of pedestrian deaths each day in the United States. It is the responsibility of the driver to obey all California State traffic laws and drive in a safe manner. When a driver is operating their vehicle in a reckless or negligent way, innocent pedestrians are at risk for serious bodily injuries, including:

  • Traumatic Brain Injury
  • Spinal Cord Injury
  • Paraplegia
  • Quadriplegia
  • Coma
  • Fractured Bones
