Oklahoma Pedestrian Collisions
Oklahoma sees tens of thousands of car crashes each year that injure and take the lives of numerous individuals. Across the nation, more than 3 million people suffer injuries per year due to car crashes. In the United States, car accidents have become one of the top ten leading causes of death, and they are the main reason individuals ages 15-20 lose their lives. Being hurt in a car crash is no joke and can land you in the hospital for weeks or longer. You may have to pay outstanding medical bills, vehicle repairs, and more while you attempt to recover from painful injuries. All of this can be overwhelming financially.
Pedestrians make up about 17% percent of the yearly car accidents that occur in the United States. They often suffer serious injuries in traffic accidents due to being totally unprotected while traveling. Most often, drivers are not paying attention and they do not see pedestrians, causing traffic accidents to occur. Over half of the time, the driver is at fault during pedestrian crashes.
