Pedestrian Accident Statistics

One pedestrian is killed in traffic every two hours, according to the NHTSA report. Furthermore, every 8 minutes, one pedestrian is injured as a result of driving.

In the United States, approximately 110,000 pedestrians are harmed each year. According to the NHTSA, about 6,227 pedestrians were killed in 2018, a 250 rise from the previous year.

Many pedestrian accidents occur due to distracted, speeding, drunk, or reckless drivers. They also disregard traffic laws and fail to drive in the proper direction.

To avoid being hit by a car, pedestrians should always follow safety guidelines. While there is no guarantee that an accident will not occur, following prescribed safety recommendations significantly reduces the likelihood of being held accountable if one does occur.

Pedestrians might, however, be involved in traffic accidents even if they are cautious and follow all rules. Being a defensive walker is more difficult than being a defensive driver. It is much more difficult for pedestrians to get out of the way of a speeding driver.
