Pedestrian accidents often result from circumstances such as:
A driver running a red light or failing to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk.
A collision involving a rideshare vehicle where the pedestrian had the right-of-way and was struck by a driver distracted or inattentive.
Vehicles turning at intersections or entering driveways without noticing a pedestrian walking or jogging nearby.
Poor lighting, unclear crosswalk markings or design issues that increase risk for pedestrians in the early morning or evening.
Drivers distracted by phones, the radio, other passengers, or unfamiliar with the area while pedestrians were legally crossing the street.
Pedestrians engaged in walking along roadways, crossing outside of marked intersections, or being impacted by a driver’s speeding, improper lane change, or failure to check blind spots.
In each of these scenarios, understanding fault, investigating evidence such as traffic camera footage, driver statements and medical records is crucial to proving your personal injury claim.
Pedestrian accidents continue to pose a serious safety concern across Arizona, including in Chandler and the surrounding Maricopa County area. Understanding how often these incidents occur, and how severe they can be, highlights why strong legal representation is so important after a crash.
According to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) 2024 Motor Vehicle Crash Facts for the State of Arizona report:
There were 1,228 traffic fatalities statewide in 2024, a 6.3% decrease from the previous year.
Of those, 249 involved pedestrians, while another 1,901 pedestrians were injured in traffic crashes.
Maricopa County, where Chandler is located, accounted for nearly 73% of all pedestrian crashes and 68% of pedestrian fatalities in Arizona.
Urban areas such as Chandler, Phoenix, and Mesa continue to record the highest rates of pedestrian collisions due to higher traffic volumes, multiple-lane intersections, and increased foot traffic.
Nationally, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that pedestrian fatalities have risen by more than 75% since 2010, making pedestrians one of the most at-risk groups of all roadway users.
In Chandler specifically, ADOT data shows that pedestrian crashes most frequently occur along major roadways such as Arizona Avenue (SR-87), Ray Road, and Chandler Boulevard, often near intersections controlled by traffic signals or crosswalks.
These statistics underscore the risk pedestrians face every day in Maricopa County. Even one negligent driver, distracted, speeding, or failing to yield, can cause life-changing injuries or death to a pedestrian. For victims and their families, pursuing compensation through a personal injury claim can be crucial to covering medical expenses, lost income, and other financial burdens following a crash.
If you’ve been hit by a vehicle while walking in Chandler, you may have a personal injury claim under Arizona law. Key factors include:
The pedestrian may be a victim of someone else’s negligence, for instance, a driver failing to yield, failing to stop at a red light, speeding, drunk driving or failure to check for pedestrians.
You may be able to seek compensation for medical expenses, future care, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering under Arizona law.
The legal process involves gathering evidence, police reports, driver statements, witness accounts, traffic camera footage, medical records, to determine fault and build a strong case.
Insurance companies will seek to minimize their liability. Having an experienced pedestrian accident lawyer in Chandler means you have someone who can stand up to insurance companies, negotiate firmly and advocate on your behalf.
Time-sensitive steps matter. You’ll need to act promptly to preserve evidence, meet statute of limitations deadlines and secure your rights.
In situations involving wrongful death, if a pedestrian victim died due to a driver’s negligence, surviving family members may have a claim for compensation permitted under Arizona law.
