Fatal Pedestrian Accident Statistics

Compared to passengers in private automobiles, pedestrians are more vulnerable to the perils of the road. What Makes Pedestrian Accidents Different from Other Types of Accidents? When a pedestrian is involved in an accident, there is no protection.

Vehicle occupants are protected by seat belts and airbags in vehicles weighing on average at least 4,000 pounds. Even bicyclists are required by law to wear helmets. According to the circumstances in which most pedestrian accidents occur, pedestrians are entirely unprotected and vulnerable.

In the past 33 years, they have accounted for a considerable percentage of all road deaths. According to the Governors Highway Safety Association, peer deaths have risen by 27% between 2007 and 2016, while other traffic-related deaths have dropped 14%.
