Pedestrian Statistics

Pedestrian accident statistics are staggering. Nearly 5,000 pedestrians are killed in pedestrian accidents each year and another 65,000 pedestrians are injured.

Many of the pedestrians accidents are caused by driver negligence. Driver negligence includes:

• Distracted driving
• Speeding
• Failure to yield the right of way to pedestrians at crosswalks
• Driving under the influence
• Careless turns at intersections
• Failure to come to a complete stop

Pedestrian Accidents

Many pedestrian accident injuries include organ damage caused by blunt force. Blunt force injury produces damage by direct impact, rapid deceleration, or rotational forces. Blunt force may compromise blood supply to organs and cause massive soft tissue injury to the abdominal wall. The organs most commonly involved in blunt force trauma are the spleen, liver, and kidneys.

20% of post-injury deaths are related to abdominal injuries associated with blunt or penetrating trauma. It is vital to check for abdominal injury following a pedestrian accident.
