Risks To California Pedestrian

Great weather, easy walkability, fitness concerns, and the affordability of our own two feet bring many Californians out and about on our busy city roadways. Unfortunately, according to a report by the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA), more than 6,500 pedestrians were killed on US roads in 2019. In 2018, 6,412 pedestrians were injured or killed in Los Angeles County alone, including 577 children and 827 seniors, according to the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS).

Common Causes Of Pedestrian Accidents

Whether it’s on a crosswalk, street, walkway, parking lot, parking garage, carport, or a sidewalk that crosses a driveway, there are many opportunities for California pedestrians to meet up with a moving vehicle. Inexperience, distraction, carelessness, and many other factors can play a role in car accidents involving pedestrians.

Speeding
Driving Under The Influence Of Drugs Or Alcohol
Driving While Tired
Distracted Driving - While Eating, Texting, Etc.
Failing To Yield At A Crosswalk
Forgetting To Look Before Backing Up

Accidental Injuries Suffered By Pedestrians

How big a vehicle is (coupe, sedan, SUV, truck, van, etc.), how fast it’s traveling, how it hits you (from the front, side, rear), where it hits you, and the age of the pedestrian will all factor into how bad your injuries are. Where a car hits an adult pedestrian versus where the same car will impact a child can make all the difference between recovery and fatality.

If you’ve suffered a traumatic injury as a pedestrian and don’t know where to turn for help, we want to hear from you.
