Pedestrian Accident Statistics

Pedestrians are the most vulnerable road users in an accident because they can’t protect themselves from serious or even fatal injuries that would otherwise occur.

There has been an alarming increase in the number of pedestrian deaths in the United States in recent years. More pedestrians were killed between 2007 and 2016, while the number of other traffic-related deaths decreased by 14.

There was no room for doubt when it came to drunk drivers injuring pedestrians. Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is a serious offense. Drunk driving accidents aren’t as common as they should be in the United States.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), drunk driving kills approximately 30 Americans every day in the United States. In the United States, an estimated 29 percent of all traffic-related deaths are caused by drunk driving. Their blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is usually higher than the legal limit of 0.08%.

Those who a driver or any other person has injured can receive financial, emotional, and physical damages. A plaintiff in a personal injury case can pursue both monetary and non-monetary damages in their claim.

Predicted financial losses are what we mean when we say something has “economic harm” attached to it. In addition to medical costs and lost wages, these damages include compensation for emotional distress. Victims who have experienced physical or emotional harm or the loss of a loved one may be eligible for non-economic damages.

Compensation may be available to those who have been harmed as a result of the recklessness, negligence, or intentional misconduct of another. We won’t charge you if your case is dismissed or otherwise resolved outside of court.
