Pedestrian Accidents


Pedestrians in NYCIn 2005, there were 10,880 accidents involving pedestrians and motor vehicles in New York City. This lethal combination resulted in 159 pedestrian deaths. Catastrophic injury to the head, brain or spinal cord, multiple fractures, abrasions and contusions also frequently result from pedestrian accidents. Inattentive drivers, drunk drivers, failure to stop at a stop sign or red light, or poor lighting can spell trouble for the pedestrian crossing a street, waiting for a bus, hailing a taxi or servicing a car breakdown.
