Pedestrian Accident Attorneys in Dallas
Approximately 5,000 people are killed every year in pedestrian traffic accidents. According to the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration), in 2012, 4,743 pedestrians—more than 12 people every day— were killed in collisions with motor vehicles. There were also 76,000 pedestrian injuries reported in 2012—nearly one every 7 minutes.
Unfortunately, new studies show that drivers are more distracted than ever before – mainly attributable to using new technologies while traveling. The use of cell phones, headphones, social media, and mobile devices are creating extremely dangerous conditions for other cars as well as pedestrians.
Pedestrian injuries are commonly severe. Spine injuries, head and neck injuries, paralysis, and broken bones, occur frequently when pedestrians are struck by vehicles.
