Pedestrian Accidents Law
Pedestrian accidents are an unfortunate, but frequent occurrence. Despite the caution you may exhibit while walking, jogging or running, drivers are often distracted or simply not vigilant enough to prevent these destructive collisions. Naturally, in an impact with a vehicle, the pedestrian will suffer the brunt of the damages, often suffering debilitating permanent harm that results in long-term injury and pain with significant financial impact. In the case of death, the spouse and children of the victim are entitled to financial compensation for their shattering loss.
Pedestrian Accidents in New Jersey
In 2009, about 12% of the traffic fatalities in the United States were pedestrians. New Jersey ranked number five overall. Twenty percent of the total pedestrian traffic fatalities that year occurred in DC, Maryland, New York and New Jersey. Urban areas experience the highest rate of pedestrian fatalities overall, at about two-thirds of the total.
