Pedestrian Accidents in Arizona
Pedestrian accidents remain a significant concern in Arizona, particularly in urban and suburban areas where foot traffic intersects with busy roadways. According to the Arizona Department of Transportation, over 1,700 pedestrian-involved crashes were reported statewide in 2024, resulting in hundreds of serious injuries and fatalities. Intersections like E Coldwater Pz and N Dysart Rd can present heightened risks, especially during peak travel times or in areas with limited visibility.
Common causes of pedestrian accidents include distracted driving, failure to yield at crosswalks, speeding, and impaired driving. Even at low speeds, a collision between a vehicle and a pedestrian can lead to severe or life-threatening injuries due to the lack of physical protection for those on foot.
After being involved in a pedestrian accident, victims are encouraged to seek immediate medical care and document the incident thoroughly. This includes obtaining police reports, securing any available witness statements, and keeping detailed records of medical treatment. Pedestrians have the right to pursue compensation for injuries, lost income, and other related damages if a driver’s negligence was a factor in the crash.
