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.
