Caruthers Pedestrian Accident Attorney
Caruthers Pedestrian Accident
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's statistics, pedestrian accident fatalities have been on a downward tend the past two decades. However, statistics may not be accurate due to the fact that only a fraction of pedestrian accidents are ever reported. In 2009, the NHTSA reported 59,000 pedestrian accident-related injuries. In the U.S., approximately one person is injured in a pedestrian accident every nine minutes. The National Safety Council reports that almost 86 percent of pedestrian accidents take place in cities where pedestrian traffic volume is higher. Large cities have more motor vehicle traffic as well, which can increase the chances of a pedestrian being struck by a car. In most pedestrian accidents involving a motor vehicle, driver negligence is a factor. Some forms of driver negligence, include:
- Not paying attention to the road or being pre-occupied with a cell phone, passenger or radio
- Not adhering to posted speed limits or traffic signals
- Not stopping at a crosswalk or pedestrian crossing
- Not yielding the right of way to a pedestrian
- Not coherent due to intoxication or drug use.
