Pedestrian accidents are often more severe than regular traffic accidents. Pedestrians are traveling with no protection, and when they become involved in collisions, they often suffer severe injuries that land them in the hospital or worse. Thousands of pedestrians suffer serious injuries every year in traffic accidents throughout the United States.
