Pedestrian Accidents in Chicago: Too Many Injuries and Deaths

For the past five years, we have been tracking a troubling increase in pedestrian accidents and fatalities in the city of Chicago. Fortunately, however, pedestrian fatalities have been at below-average levels in 2019 and we hope to see these statistics continue to decrease.

Overall in the United States, pedestrian fatalities have increased by about 50% in the past ten years – from 4,100 in 2009 to over 6,200 in 2018 – while we in Chicago are on track to see fewer fatalities than 2018. Still, these accidents are all too common and can result in, if not death, serious injuries and long-term health complications. Pedestrians in Chicago are advised to be especially mindful of crossing roads at night and on weekends, as an estimated 75% of pedestrian accidents resulting in a fatality occur at nighttime and about half involve alcohol use by either the driver or pedestrian.
