Pedestrian Injury Facts
In 2001, there were 5,463 pedestrian involved accidents in Pennsylvania. This
number is 4% of all pedestrian/vehicle crashes in
the state.
195 of these (or 12.7%) were fatal.
2001 saw the highest rate of pedestrian deaths, yet the total amount of pedestrians
involved in crashes decreased. Pedestrians age 75
years and older accounted for 38 of the 195 fatalities.
While, male pedestrians accounted for 62% of these fatalities,
it was shocking that children younger than 19 years
old represented 43% of all pedestrian injuries.

Rules of the Road for Cyclists and
Pedestrians Bicyclists, like all others who use city
streets, have a responsibility to operate
bicycles in a safe manner, with due respect
for rules of the road and the often
unpredictable actions of other drivers and
riders.
Pedestrians at Risk
Pedestrians are also expected to obey
traffic signals, cross in crosswalks where
they are available, and in general, practice
safety just as motorists and bicyclists
must. Often times even though a pedestrian
is following the rules of the road and has the
right-of-way, a reckless driver seriously injures
them or the pedestrian or cyclist is killed as a
result of a driver's careless actions.
Dangerous City Streets
Bicycle and pedestrian accidents can happen
anywhere, but they are most common in
congested city traffic. Cars, buses,
cyclists, and pedestrians often integrate
with the surrounding traffic as they attempt to get
from Point A to Point B without delay. If
you are seriously injured and cannot visit
one of our offices, a member of our
professional staff will visit you at
your home or hospital.
Child Pedestrian Accident
Pedestrian injuries are the number two cause of accidental death among children ages 5 to 14 in the United States. Across the country each year, more than 630 children are killed and 35,000 treated in emergency rooms as a result of pedestrian injuries.
Call 1-800-422-2224 for your free consultation.
Any person who is the victim of a pedestrian
accident can file a claim against the
driver if they prove that the driver's
negligence was the reason for the accident.
If you or someone you know has been injured
or killed in an accident while walking or
riding a bicycle, let the attorneys at
Handler, Henning & Rosenberg, LLP help you
or your family recover what you are entitled
to for your pedestrian victim injuries.
