Pedestrian injuries and fatalities occur quite frequently in the United States; with recent statistics showing that one pedestrian is killed in a traffic accident every 111 minutes. Pedestrians are at a higher risk for injury and death than any other non-occupant group involved in an auto accident. In fact, almost 90% of non-occupant fatalities are pedestrians, not cyclists or skateboarders. Therefore, pedestrians need to take extra caution to protect themselves from injury and death while traveling on our roads and streets. But, at times, this is not enough to keep from being involved in an accident.
