Pedestrian Injuries

South Carolina Pedestrian Injury Lawyers

Nearly three-quarters (72%) of pedestrian fatalities in the United States occur in an urban setting versus a rural setting.  Similarly, about three-quarters (76%) of pedestrian fatalities occur at non-intersections versus intersections.  Almost 90% of pedestrian fatalities occur during normal weather as opposed to rainy, snowy, or foggy conditions.  A majority of all pedestrian fatalities, about 70%, happen at night.

Pedestrian deaths accounted for 12 % of traffic fatalities in motor vehicle traffic crashes last year.  And thought the number of pedestrian fatalities has decreased by 14% since 2000, pedestrian involvement in South Carolina auto accidents persists.
