Pedestrian Accidents
Daylight Saving Time Switch & Increased Number Of Pedestrian Collisions & Car Accidents
The staff at the Davis Law Group, P.S. would like to remind you to set your clocks back one hour this weekend. Please use extreme caution as you adjust to the time change and earlier darkness. When the clocks move back an hour at the end of daylight savings time, pedestrian collisions, crosswalk accidents, and personal injury cases involving motor vehicles are more likely to occur.
According to a CNN report, pedestrians walking at dusk are three times more likely to be struck by a car than before the clocks moved back.
The highest risk for pedestrians occurs around 6pm during the month of November. This risk decreases each month until May, when the spring time change and longer days cause pedestrian accidents to drop dramatically. Reports show that it is not the actual dark that causes these pedestrian car accidents, it is the drivers' adjustments to the earlier darkness.
Drivers: Be on the lookout for pedestrians as you drive at dusk and after dark.
