Charleston, South Carolina – Steinberg Law Firm, a prominent personal injury law firm in Charleston, has recently published an insightful report examining the safety concerns and accident statistics associated with electric vehicles (EVs). The report delves into the unique risks posed by EVs, including their heavier weight and specific crash risks that could increase the severity of accidents.
The study explores the burgeoning rise in electric vehicle usage and how it impacts road safety in the United States. As EVs become more prevalent on the nation’s roads, understanding the implications for drivers, passengers, and pedestrians is crucial. Steinberg Law Firm’s report provides a timely analysis as the shift towards electric transportation accelerates and infrastructure adapts to accommodate this new era of motoring.
One of the key findings discussed in the report is the increased risk that electric vehicles pose to pedestrians. It was discovered that 33 percent of crashes involved an electric vehicle and a pedestrian or cyclist. Also, EVs are 37 percent more likely to hit pedestrians due to their low noise levels compared to their gasoline-powered counterparts.
Moreover, the report also raises awareness about the potential hazards that electric vehicle batteries can pose in the event of an accident. These risks include not only the threat of explosion but also the dangers of electrocution, chemical burns, and other serious injuries.
