Pedestrian Accidents

The loss of 4,092 lives in pedestrian/motor vehicle crashes in 2009, almost eleven people every day of the year, is an awful toll (NHTSA Traffic Safety Facts). Though the number of pedestrian fatalities fell from 5,228 in 1998 to 4,092 in 2009, there were 59,000 reported pedestrian injuries in 2009, nearly one every 9 minutes. The threat of being injured or killed while walking is a serious concern for many individuals and a very real problem that communities must face. As the number of distracted drivers increase due to text and cell phone calls so will the chances of a pedestrian accident. While we have also increased the number of cross walks and reflective wear for garments, accident lawyers have seen an increase in cases as well.
