A sizable percentage of children get to school by walking, particularly in urban and suburban areas where students often live close to their school. However, children who walk to school face the constant risk of being injured in a pedestrian accident. If your child gets to school by walking, you need to understand the potential dangers of pedestrian accidents and what you can do to keep your kids safer.

You can help protect your child if they walk to school by teaching them pedestrian safety tips, such as:
When you decide to let your child walk to school, you should also take the time to walk the route with your child. This way, you can reinforce safe pedestrian behaviors and show your child where it is safest to walk or to cross the street. Ideally, you should get together with other parents whose children walk to school so that your kids can walk in a group or buddy system, which will help make the children more visible to motorists.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately one in five children under the age of 15 who are killed in auto accidents are pedestrians. In addition, Safe Kids Worldwide reports that, in one recent year, there were a total of 359 child fatalities in pedestrian accidents and 15,011 cases of injuries to children in pedestrian accidents. This equals seven fatalities and 289 non-fatal injuries per week. The months with the highest rate of child pedestrian deaths were October, March, July, and September. Sixty-nine percent of child pedestrian fatalities occurred in the roadway at a non-intersection location, while 16 percent of fatal accidents occurred within the intersection.
If your child was injured in a pedestrian accident while walking to school, your family may have the right to pursue financial recovery for losses that your child and your family have suffered, including:
Families of children who are killed in pedestrian accidents may also be entitled to recover for funeral/burial expenses, emotional suffering, and loss of their child’s society.
