Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrians are particularly vulnerable to the dangers of the road
There were 103 pedestrian fatalities in Washington State in 2017, 18.2% of all traffic fatalities in the state. Beyond the 5,987 pedestrians killed nationwide in 2015, almost 129,000 were given emergency care for injuries.
Pedestrians have no protection from injury when they are struck by a vehicle.
Even a small compact car weighs 3,000 pounds, so pedestrians can suffer catastrophic injuries even in crashes at low rates of speed. These injuries can affect a person’s ability to work, function, and live a satisfying life. When a pedestrian gets injured, uncompensated medical bills alone can severely disrupt their life.
