Pedestrian Accidents
Are Increasing
According to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, there were 3,211 crashes involving pedestrians and 184 fatalities in Pennsylvania in 2022. Accidents typically occur in intersections, mid-block crossings, and driveway entrances. While pedestrian-related crashes only make up 2.8% of the total reported traffic crashes, they account for a staggering 15.6% of traffic fatalities.
According to the Governors Highway Safety Association, at least 7,508 pedestrians were struck and killed by vehicles in the United States in 2022. This averages to 20 deaths a day, and is a 55% increase from the number a decade ago.
Injuries and deaths due to cars, trucks, and other vehicles are trending up, making the services of a personal injury attorney more important than ever. The team at our personal injury attorney offices in Scranton and Stroudsburg, PA, can help if you've sustained injuries in a truck, motorcycle, or car accident.
Pedestrian Accidents Cause Serious and Lasting Injuries
Pedestrians do not have the protections that drivers have. This vulnerability often leads to disastrous outcomes for innocent commuters. As a result of pedestrian accidents, lasting and debilitating injuries can occur, including:
- Spinal cord injuries
- Head trauma
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Internal bleeding
- Bone fractures
- Lacerations
- Torn ligaments
- Paralysis
- Death
Many of these injuries can have catastrophic effects on victims and their loved ones. Serious physical damage can require ongoing medical care, alterations of your home and lifestyle, and sacrifices from family members for support. In tragic cases, victims may even pass away as a result of their injuries. Financial restitution can help you and your loved ones face these economic changes and better prepare for the future.
