Pedestrian Accidents are More Common Than You May Realize
Studies have shown that somewhere near 33% of all road fatalities are pedestrians. If that number sounds very high to you, it is. It’s not quite three times the average across America, which means that technically, it can be more dangerous to be a pedestrian in southern California than in other parts of the country.
There tends to be a misconception that most pedestrian accidents occur during inclement conditions, but that’s not the case. A majority actually takes place during normal weather conditions, although they are more common at night than they are during the day.
What can make pedestrian accidents all that more difficult is that kids and the elderly are at higher risk from them. You don’t have to be crossing a busy traffic intersection to be at risk of an injury like this, as a majority of them occur elsewhere on the road.
The truth is that there’s no way to be 100% safe from pedestrian accidents. You can do everything in your power to be careful, to be conscientious, and yet, if someone has too much to drink, doesn’t see you, is going too fast, or something else, they could cause you great harm. When that happens, something has to be done.
