Pedestrian Accident Statistics

When a car hits a pedestrian, the person almost always gets hurt badly or dies. When a car hits a group of pedestrians, most of the people who get hurt will be the people on foot.

In the United States, the number of pedestrian deaths and injuries has been going up for a while, and because of this, they are getting worse. In the past few years, there has been a disturbing rise in the number of people who die while walking.

A study by the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) found that between 2007 and 2016, the number of traffic deaths went down by 14%, but the number of pedestrian deaths went up by 27% during the same time period.

It was thought that 5,977 people died in pedestrian accidents in the United States in 2016. As of the end of 2016, 88 people were thought to be dying every minute.

At least 137,000 people went to hospital emergency rooms in 2017 because they were hurt while walking. Based on the data, California has the most pedestrian injuries and deaths. In California in 2012, 893 people on foot died and more than 14,000 were hurt.

When drivers don’t stop for pedestrians or stop too quickly, it’s tragic that people die or get hurt. If you want to go to court, your best bet is to find and hire a good lawyer.
