Pedestrians are the folks on their feet, or using a mobility device such as walker, cane or wheelchair. The number of pedestrians hit and killed by negligent drivers are at an all time high, the highest in 40 years. In 2022 government data showed pedestrian deaths rose between 2010-2022 by over 70%, in 2010 there was 4,302 pedestrian deaths nationwide and in 2022 there were 7,624 deaths resulting from pedestrian crashes. That is 77% rise in deaths.
Pedestrian crossings and distracted drivers are a recipe for disaster.
There are intersections that are simply dangerous for folks not in automobiles or trucks.

Drivers distracted by phones, drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and folks looking anywhere but the road and distractions around them are a menace and cause serious harm and injury if not death to pedestrians.
Knowing the insurance company defenses to claims brought by pedestrians is important to understand the strategies and how to get justice for their claims.
