Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrian accidents cause a reported 5,000 deaths, and 60,000 injuries in the United States each year. Reasons for pedestrian accidents include both pedestrian error and driver error. Ignoring traffic pedestrian controls (walk and don't walk signals) jaywalking, children darting out into oncoming traffic, and walking on a limited access highway fall under the umbrella of pedestrian error. Driver error can include disregard for crosswalks, failure to obey traffic control devices (traffic lights and signs) driving while intoxicated, passing a school bus, and disregard for a pedestrian already in a crosswalk.
