Fatal crashes across the state of Michigan took the lives of more than 1100 people in 2022 alone. Year after year, we continue to see more than 1000 people die as a result of traffic accidents on our roadways. Pedestrians, in particular, are extra vulnerable during accidents due to the fact that they have no protection. When pedestrians are children, the chances of severe and fatal injuries are even more increased due to their small size.
Regrettably, we see many innocent people lose their lives as a result of fatal accidents caused by the careless and reckless actions of drivers. When drivers do not operate their vehicles safely, it can have overwhelming consequences for everyone nearby. Regrettably, we see a significant number of pedestrians lose their lives as a result of drivers who fail to yield the right-of-way, speed, or engage in other reckless actions.
