If you’ve been injured while walking or jogging, our pedestrian accident attorneys can help.
A study by the Hawaii Department of Health (DOH) found that an average of 601 people are injured in pedestrian accidents each year, with about 464 of those being treated in an emergency room and about 137 requiring hospitalization.
In Hawaii, many pedestrians killed in accidents were in a crosswalk at the time they were hit, often at an intersection. Senior citizens (age 65 or older) were more likely than younger pedestrians to be hit while in a crosswalk.
Older adults in Hawaii comprise 13 percent of the population, but account for about 42 percent of pedestrian deaths. Many deaths occur on roadways that are designed for speeding cars with little consideration for the safety of pedestrians or bicyclists.
