Pedestrian Accidents in New Jersey
Pedestrian safety is a serious concern in the state of New Jersey. A substantial number of the state’s annual traffic deaths involve people traveling on foot. The Garden State experienced a drastic spike in pedestrian fatalities in 2021. The number of pedestrians killed in the state increased to a startling 220, a nearly 23 percent increase from 2020. In the event of a crash, someone on foot has limited protection, and this means they are much more likely to suffer serious or even life-threatening injuries.
