Personal Injury Attorneys San Francisco
Woodland Hills personal injury attorney has noticed an increase in auto versus pedestrian accident cases. They say: “Never walk in Southern California!” This advice may be true given the high level of driver distraction. Also, a contributing factor is “pedestrian distraction!” As a lifetime resident of the San Fernando Valley, an anecdotal further factor is that drivers simply do not expect people to be walking in and around where cars are driving. So, the sudden appearance of a pedestrian is a shock and relatively unfamiliar circumstance.
Not surprisingly, when vehicular traffic intersects with pedestrian traffic the possibility of Pedestrian Traffic Fatalities is not only present, but a substantial risk. In a recent report prepared for the Governors Highway Safety Association, the number of Pedestrian Traffic Fatalities by State were analyzed. The report noted solid increases in pedestrian traffic fatalities Nationwide. The fatalities were up about 30% over a two-year period. About 6,000 pedestrian fatalities are estimated to have occurred in 2016, which could make 2016 the first year in more than two decades with more than 6,000 pedestrian deaths. This is really a staggering increase which needs explanation and real time solutions.
Again, no surprise, and for obvious reasons, States differed wildly in fatality numbers. The number of pedestrian deaths for the first half of 2016 ranged from one in Wyoming to 359 in California. In fact, four states (California, Florida, Texas, and New York) accounted for 42 percent of all pedestrian deaths. Everyone knows that lighting plays a big factor in pedestrian fatalities. In fact, 74% pedestrian fatalities occur at dark. Also, 34% of fatalities are alcohol related.
