Deadly Pedestrian Accidents in New Jersey
In New Jersey, there are a growing number of fatal pedestrian collisions each year, making pedestrian safety a major concern. Experts projected 8,000 pedestrian fatalities on American roadways in 2021. This number corresponds to one fatality approximately every 66 minutes.
Walking, while enjoyable, is far from safe. In fact, nearly one in six people killed in collisions in 2021 were pedestrians, and every year, pedestrian collisions are believed to result in more than 100,000 ER visits. There is a significantly higher likelihood of serious or even fatal injuries in a pedestrian crash.
