It does not simply concern those who are driving. Bicyclists and pedestrians are using roadways in ever increasing numbers. Accidents affect all of those who occupy the roadway including drivers, passengers, pedestrians, runners, joggers, and cyclists. As traffic increases more and more interactions are had between cars, buses, trucks, and cyclists and pedestrians.<\/p>\n<p>The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicate that more than 150,000 pedestrians were treated in emergency rooms in 2013 for nonfatal injuries in automobile-pedestrian crashes and approximately 4,735 pedestrians were killed in these same types of accidents. Think of what that means on a daily basis with regard to these types of devastating accidents. 410 pedestrians were hurt every day in 2013 one died about every two hours.<\/p>\n<p>When you consider these accidents, it is obvious that someone was at fault in nearly every one of them. If the driver was at fault, an innocent pedestrian likely suffered catastrophic injuries due to the driver\u2019s carelessness. These accidents can be prevented and avoided if all those involved \u00a0the take the time to make safety a priority.<\/p>\n<div class=\"read_more_link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.racinelaw.net\/blog\/pedestrian-accidents\/\"  title=\"Continue Reading PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENTS\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading \u203a<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Traffic safety affects people on the roadways, the shoulders of the road, sidewalks, and crosswalks.
