Pedestrians are killed by motor vehicles in the United States in shockingly high numbers. As we will discuss further below, the state of Mississippi and our nation as a whole has experienced a significant upward trend in pedestrian fatality rates over the past several years. In this article, we will discuss which pedestrian groups are most at risk of an accident, where and when fatal collisions are most likely to occur, and the pedestrian accident statistics that indicate a desperate need for better safety measures for those on foot.

Ideally, cars and pedestrians should be able to safely share the road so that both parties can get where they need to go. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. Although you might think that the driver is always considered to be completely at fault for an accident with a pedestrian, sometimes the walker can be at fault as well if they acted negligently.

If you’ve been hurt in an accident that was someone else’s fault, then you deserve justice. An attorney from Pittman Roberts & Welsh, PLLC will investigate what happened and prove that the other party was at fault for your injuries and damages. You shouldn’t have to deal with this alone, which is why we’re here for you.
