Los Angeles Pedestrian Accidents
Los Angeles has the second-highest pedestrian fatality rate in the United States with about 100 people killed every year. Only New York City has a higher pedestrian fatality rate than LA. One factor that contributes to pedestrian deaths in the city is the major hit-and-run epidemic. There is a hit-and-run crash in LA every 18 minutes with 50% of all incidents in the county being hit-and-run cases.

Most pedestrian deaths in Los Angeles take place at night and most victims are male and/or seniors. According to a recent report, about one-third of victims had blood alcohol levels exceeding the legal limit.

Many factors contribute to pedestrian traffic accidents in Los Angeles:

• Drunk driving
• Drunk pedestrians
• Speeding
• Running a red light or stop sign
• Making a right turn in an intersection without checking for pedestrians
• Failing to yield right-of-way at crosswalks
• Distracted driving

Even low-speed accidents can cause serious injuries to pedestrians. Victims often suffer serious injuries like traumatic brain injuries, fractures, organ damage, amputation, and spinal cord injuries, any of which can lead to disability, disfigurement, and extensive rehabilitation.
