New Jersey Pedestrian Accidents

Cherry Hill, NJ - Kings Highway North Scene of Fatal Pedestrian Crash near W Ormand AvenuePedestrian accidents can be extremely devastating for those who sustain injuries in them. Sadly, pedestrians often suffer catastrophic or even fatal injuries when they are struck by vehicles. Every year, tens of thousands of pedestrian accidents happen throughout the United States that cause over 5,000 individuals to lose their lives. In the state of New Jersey, several pedestrians suffer injuries in crashes each year. 

Unfortunately, the majority of pedestrian collisions happen due to the actions of negligent, careless, or reckless drivers. Negligent driving is a dangerous and selfish action that is displayed by millions of people in the United States every single year. Each year, more than 2 million people suffer traffic accident injuries severe enough to send them to the emergency room in the US, the majority of which are caused by negligent driving. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that more than 94% of reported auto collisions in the United States are caused by negligent driving. Drivers who are distracted, intoxicated, fatigued, and speeding risk their own lives and the lives of those around them.
