Fatal Pedestrian Statistics

Pedestrian accidents often lead to severe injuries and even death to those who are unlucky enough to be involved in such an accident.

This fact is not surprising when the weight of the average passenger vehicle is compared to the weight of a pedestrian. Vehicles have much more weight and force than pedestrians, and in the event of a collision, it is the pedestrian, and not the vehicle, that will be severely injured.

Pedestrians currently make up a large percentage of traffic fatalities in the past 33 years. According to the Governors Highway Safety Association, pedestrian fatalities in the U.S. have increased by 27 percent from 2007-2016, while other traffic-related deaths decreased by 14 percent.

Some common reasons for pedestrian accidents are negligent driving, speeding, and drivers failing to yield to pedestrians.
