Statistics on pedestrian fatalities in Pennsylvania are bleak, and they show no signs of improving. Since 2019, the number of pedestrian fatalities in Pennsylvania has increased by 21%.
In addition, there has been a sharp increase in pedestrian fatalities during the past decade. Pedestrian deaths are projected to climb by 54% between 2010 and 2020, according to preliminary statistics from the Governors Highway Safety Association.
Sidewalks, crosswalks, and parking lots are frequent sites of pedestrian accidents. Since pedestrian accidents are widespread in our state, it only makes sense that those who are seriously injured as a pedestrian in a collision with a car know their rights under the law.
