Pedestrian Accidents in New Jersey
Pedestrian accidents are a common and devastating problem in New Jersey, especially in cities like Trenton where heavy traffic and crowded intersections put people at risk. Even a single moment of driver inattention can change a life forever.
According to state crash data, hundreds of pedestrians are injured or killed each year across New Jersey. Many of these collisions happen in busy urban areas or near intersections where drivers fail to yield, run red lights, or become distracted by their phones. Poor visibility, impaired driving, and bad weather can make conditions even more dangerous.
Victims often suffer catastrophic injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, internal bleeding, and broken bones. These injuries can lead to long hospital stays, multiple surgeries, and long-term rehabilitation. Families often face emotional trauma, financial strain, and uncertainty about what comes next.
