Pedestrian Accident Statistics

More motorists are hurt or killed yearly by pedestrians and motorcyclists than any other group. They have inadequate safety measures in place in case of an incident.

Recent years have seen a dramatic increase in people killed and injured while walking. Between 2007 and 2016, pedestrian deaths exceeded vehicle deaths by 14 percentage points.

In 2017, there were 5,977 pedestrian deaths in the USA. This works out to roughly one person every minute. In 2017, pedestrian injuries that did not result in death cost emergency rooms over $137,500.

Extremely high pedestrian fatalities and catastrophic injuries can be found in the Golden State. This past year, 893 pedestrians lost their lives, and 14,000 were injured in the state of California.

Most pedestrian accidents are the result of carelessness on the part of drivers, who either fail to yield the right of way or fail to slow down enough to avoid colliding with pedestrians. The advice of a skilled attorney is indispensable in this kind of situation.
