Pedestrian Accidents in Maryland
Pedestrian-related accidents are a significant safety concern across Maryland, particularly in urban and suburban areas like Rockville. According to recent state traffic safety reports, pedestrian injuries account for a notable percentage of roadway incidents, often linked to distracted driving, poor visibility, and speeding.
In accidents involving pedestrians, victims are especially vulnerable to severe injuries, given the lack of protection against vehicles.

Despite these efforts, many accidents still occur due to human error or infrastructure shortcomings.
