Pedestrian crashes in Mesa can result from various forms of negligence or hazardous conditions. Common causes include:
Distracted driving or inattentive driving (cell phone use, GPS distractions)
Speeding through residential or commercial zones
Failure to yield at busy intersections
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
Poor lighting or visibility at night
Unsafe crosswalk design or missing pedestrian signals
Hit-and-run or uninsured motorist situations
Premises hazards, such as uneven sidewalks or unsafe parking-lot designs (potential premises liability)
Regardless of the cause, if your injuries resulted from someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to pursue an injury claim.
Pedestrian safety continues to be a major concern in Mesa and throughout Arizona.
According to the City of Mesa 2023 Annual Crash Report from the City of Mesa Transportation Department, there were 112 pedestrian crashes in 2023, with 71 occurring at intersections. The same report notes that 67% of those collisions resulted in injuries, nine pedestrians were killed, and 20 incidents involved hit-and-run drivers.
Statewide data from the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) 2024 Motor Vehicle Crash Facts Report shows 2,079 pedestrian crashes, including 263 fatalities and 1,912 injuries across Arizona. The ADOT Crash Facts Report also highlights that the most frequent time for pedestrian crashes statewide is between 6:00 and 7:00 PM, underscoring the need for better pedestrian safety measures during evening hours.
On a national scale, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that 7,314 pedestrians were killed in traffic crashes in 2023. In its Traffic Safety Facts: 2023 – Pedestrians, the NHTSA identifies Arizona as having one of the highest pedestrian fatality rates, 3.65 per 100,000 residents nationwide.
These official statistics from the City of Mesa, ADOT, and NHTSA confirm that pedestrian injuries and fatalities remain a serious public safety issue across Maricopa County.
Your health comes first. Always seek medical attention after a crash, even if your injuries seem minor. Delayed symptoms from concussions, internal bleeding, or fractures can become life-threatening.
Documenting the accident scene strengthens your case:
Take photos of vehicles, crosswalks, lighting, and injuries.
Obtain the police report from Mesa PD.
Collect contact details from witnesses.
Keep medical records and proof of lost wages or medical expenses.
Liability may involve:
The other driver or multiple drivers
A government entity responsible for unsafe road design
Property owners who failed to keep walkways safe (premises liability)
Vehicle manufacturers if mechanical defects contributed to the incident
Your personal injury claim may include:
Medical bills (emergency care, therapy, rehabilitation)
Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
Property damage (clothing, devices, or mobility aids)
Pain and suffering, emotional trauma, and non-economic damages
Wrongful death compensation for families in fatal cases
Insurance adjusters often minimize payouts or assign partial blame. Our experienced personal injury attorneys negotiate firmly to protect your rights and prevent lowball settlements.
Under Arizona law, you generally have two years to file a personal injury or wrongful death claim, though deadlines can vary when a government entity is involved. Acting quickly ensures that evidence is preserved and your claim remains valid.
