Pedestrian Accidents in Texas
Pedestrian accidents in Texas are a growing concern, underscoring the need for enhanced road safety measures and increased awareness among drivers and pedestrians alike. In 2022, the state recorded a staggering 5,764 traffic crashes involving pedestrians. These incidents resulted in 829 tragic deaths and left 1,526 individuals with serious injuries. The impact of these accidents is profound, often leading to life-altering consequences for the victims and their families.
Pedestrian accidents often result in severe injuries due to the vulnerability of those on foot. Unlike occupants of vehicles, pedestrians lack the protection of a car’s frame, airbags, or seat belts. Consequently, they are at a higher risk of sustaining significant injuries in a collision. Common injuries include internal organ damage, broken bones, head trauma, spinal cord injuries, and lacerations. The road to recovery can be long and challenging, both physically and emotionally, and it often involves extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.
