Based on my time working with the Court of Protection I'd say exactly the same. Amongst that group contributory negligence as a result of alcohol was a significant factor.
There were car accidents too, typically car v HGV. Passenger wife having sued driver husband was a theme there.
Falls from height, or things falling from height, at work covered quite a few cases.
I can only recall one cyclist and he overlapped the drunk pedestrian cohort.
