Fatal Pedestrian Accident Statistics

Compared to other road users, pedestrians and motorcycle riders are at greater risk of being injured or killed in a car accident. They aren’t adequately safeguarded in the event of an accident.
That the number of accidents involving pedestrians has risen so sharply is truly heartbreaking. Between 2007 and 2016, the number of pedestrian deaths increased by 27 percent, while the number of other traffic-related deaths decreased by 14 percent.

Pedestrian accidents claimed the lives of 5,977 people in the United States in 2014. One person is killed in the United States every 88 minutes. In 2017, a total of 137,000 non-fatal pedestrian injuries were treated in hospital emergency departments.

When compared to other states, California has the highest number of pedestrian deaths and serious injuries. There were 893 pedestrian deaths in California last year, and 14,000 people were injured.

Many pedestrian accidents occur as a result of drivers’ negligence, recklessness, or failure to yield the right-of-way to other vehicles. When faced with a situation like this, it is critical to have an attorney on your side.
