Pedestrian Wrecks in Camden

Pedestrian collisions take place thousands of times per year in New York. These wrecks often cause injuries and even fatalities for those involved. Averagely speaking, over 5,000 people are killed per year throughout the United States every year. Sadly, most of these wrecks occur because of drivers who behave negligently while behind the wheel. In fact, the National Highway Traffic Safety Association reports that over half the time, negligent driving is behind injurious and deadly pedestrian collisions in the US. 

Pedestrians who suffer serious injuries in auto collisions are often forced to spend a lot of time recovering in the hospital. While there, they usually undergo medical treatment that can be very expensive and exhausting, like painful physical therapy or repeat surgeries. Experiences of this nature may be life-changing, not only for injured victims, but also for their family members.
