New York Pedestrian Crashes
In New York, tens of thousands of car crashes happen per year. These incidents take place for numerous reasons, however, the majority happen due to the actions of negligent drivers. Over half of the time, pedestrian collisions take place in the state of New York and throughout the country because of driver negligence, specifically, drivers who fail to yield the right of way. Tragically, over 5,000 pedestrians are killed per year throughout the United States. The majority of these drivers are distracted, intoxicated, fatigued, or displaying negligence in another manner while driving.
Injuries suffered by accident victims will often range from mild bruises and scrapes to life-altering conditions. Individuals who suffer injuries in pedestrian collisions usually suffer a great deal, sustaining head, neck, and spinal cord injuries, or broken bones. Over 300,000 car wrecks happened throughout the state of New York in 2021, and, New York City alone sees over 100,000 crashes yearly.
Negligent driving comes in many forms, however, the most common include speeding, intoxication, distraction, and fatigue. Over 100,000 auto collisions take place yearly due to the actions of drivers who are overtired while operating their vehicles. Driving while fatigued is basically the same as driving while intoxicated, as our reaction times, judgment, vision, and even motor control can be drastically altered, creating an unsafe environment for everyone encountered by a fatigued driver on the road.
