From distracted and impaired drivers to dangerous crosswalks or unsafe driving conditions, countless factors can contribute to potentially fatal or serious pedestrian accidents.
Far too often, motorists claim that they didn’t see the person they hit until it was too late. As a result, pedestrians are among some of the most vulnerable accident victims. If you or someone you know has been struck by a vehicle, then you may need immediate assistance of a pedestrian accident lawyer.
The legal team at Mirian Law Firm has handled many pedestrian accident cases, and we’re confident we can help you file your claim and get the compensation you deserve.
PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT STATISTICS IN TORONTO
Toronto is a beautiful, vivacious, and multicultural city that attracts millions of tourists and immigrants every year. With its growing population, the potential for more pedestrian accidents is also increasing.
Statistically speaking, pedestrians and cyclists are considered to be “vulnerable road users” because of the growing rate of fatalities. According to the CBC News, as of August 8, 2023, 25 people have died on Toronto’s roadways. That number includes 15 pedestrians, six motorists, three motorcyclists, and one cyclist. While that number is nowhere near a record high, it’s still quite shocking.
Being struck by a vehicle can be an extremely traumatic experience, both physically and psychologically. It can lead to severe catastrophic injuries such as spinal cord or brain damage. Even worse, many of these accidents can be fatal.
