Pedestrian Accident Statistics

Accidents in which pedestrians are involved are more likely to result in fatalities than those involving drivers of other vehicles because pedestrians have less protection on the road.

The U.S. has seen a rise in pedestrian deaths in recent years. While traffic fatalities as a whole went down by 14% between 2007 and 2016, the number of people killed while walking increased by 27%.

An estimated 5,977 pedestrians lost their lives in 2017. A death occurs in the United States every 88 minutes, on average. About 137,000 pedestrians in the United States required medical attention in 2017 after being involved in a collision that did not result in death.

According to statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, California has a death rate that is 25% higher than the rest of the country (NHTSA).
On foot, 893 people died and 14,000 were hurt in California alone in 2018. Pedestrian accidents are exacerbated by drivers who are careless, reckless, or impaired.

No matter if a crosswalk is marked or not, drivers must slow down when they get close to one. Also, they have to give way to people walking at certain intersections. If a pedestrian is hurt and the driver is thought to have broken the law, the authorities will figure out who did it.

With the help of an attorney, the families of the people who died can file a claim in court for “wrongful death” to get money for their losses. Damages can be given for a person’s lost wages, funeral costs, physical pain, and emotional distress.
