Statistics for Pedestrian Accidents

The number of child victims is tragi. While kids are known to dart into the street to catch a ball, in many cases a driver's carelessness could have prevented an impact with the person. Negligent school bus drivers and unsafe crossings have made recent headlines and taken a terrible toll. The TEN-LAW team worries about these grim statistics: On average, 1 person is injured by a run-in with an automobile every 9 minutes, and 1 person is killed by a car every 2 hours. That equals 50,000 injuries and 4,000 pedestrian deaths in the United States each year. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration:

• Auto vs. person collisions account for 12 percent of all traffic deaths
• Almost 70 percent of pedestrians are killed at night
• Boys ages 5 to 9 are the most likely to be struck by a vehicle
• Males make up 69 percent of all car vs. person collisions
• Seniors are the least likely to get struck (8 percent of all cases), but their death rate is the highest: 19 percent
• Three quarters of these types of run-ins are in urban areas

Injured in a pedestrian accident? Let us fight for you!

We at TEN-LAW litigate personal injury and wrongful death cases for people whose lives have been tragically changed by a run-in with a car. Some injuries are apparent right away; others take time to surface. More than 400 Floridians--including children and the elderly--are killed by cars, trucks, and buses each year. Walkers are frequently struck:

• Along road shoulders
• By drunk drivers who veer or weave out of traffic lanes
• By careless bus drivers
• In parking lots
• While changing a tire or tending to car trouble along a roadway
• Crossing in legally marked crosswalks
• While another car is backing up
• When exiting a car
• Crossing the street in speeding traffic

Why hire a pedestrian accident lawyer for your case?

We know that walking and jogging in our beautiful community are healthy activities, but they can also be dangerous. Being struck by a car can result in huge medical bills and long rehabilitation. If you are hit by a vehicle, seek immediate medical help and call our office for a free consultation. We want to hear from you as soon as possible to discuss your case.

Unfortunately, in Florida these kinds of cases are plentiful, because our state is a dangerous place for people who walk, jog, hike, or use a wheelchair. Florida has the third highest rate of walkers struck by vehicles; there were 466 fatalities in 2009 alone. Typically, an injury lawyer will do battle with the insurance companies representing wrongful drivers.

We have won our clients much-needed financial help for:

• Medical care and hospital bills
• Future rehabilitation and therapy
• Lost wages and income capacity
• Special education for an injured child
• Funeral expenses

We will evaluate your situation free of charge. Call TEN-LAW now at 941-309-5240.
