In an update, a Merseyside Police spokesman said: 'The number of people reported to have been injured currently stands at 109.'
Last week, police said 79 people had been injured.
Paul Doyle, 53, has been charged in connection with the crash and appeared in court last week.
Detective Superintendent Rachel Wilson said: 'This is a complex and constantly evolving investigation and we are still working through and assessing those reporting being injured and our inquiries remain ongoing.
'I would like to thank everyone who has been in touch with us so far to give witness accounts or supply information or video footage. The response so far has been of great assistance in progressing the investigation.
'We have had more than 500 submissions to the Major Incident Police Portal (MIPP) and a team of detectives are currently working through the information provided.
'I would continue to appeal for anyone who has information and is yet to come forward to please get in touch as a matter of urgency.'
Those injured and their families are being supported by specialist officers and police are being assisted in the investigation by forces in Greater Manchester, Cumbria, Lancashire, North Wales and Cheshire.
Doyle, reported to be a former Royal Marine, from Croxteth, Liverpool, is charged with two counts of wounding with intent, two counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent, two counts of attempted grievous bodily harm with intent and one count of dangerous driving.
The offences relate to six victims, including two children aged 11 and 17.
He was remanded in custody after appearing at Liverpool Crown Court on Friday and is due appear for a plea hearing on August 14.
Detective Superintendent Wilson said: 'As a person has now been charged in connection with this incident, I would like to remind people not to speculate or share information or footage which could in any way jeopardise the case.
'We understand that emotions are still running high, and people are seeking answers, but it is vital that we allow the matter to go through the judicial process.'
Police previously said they believed the car that struck pedestrians was able to follow an ambulance crew attending to someone suffering a heart attack after a road block during Liverpool FC's celebrations was temporarily lifted.

Residents still out of homes after explosives found in St Helens house
Hundreds of people are preparing to spend a fourth day away from home after a hoard of explosives was foun d at a man's house following his death. "Explosive ordnance" was discovered at john Nelson's home on Chadwick Road in St Helens on Tuesday, Merseyside Police said. The "reclusive" 64-year-old's property was packed with wartime memorabilia, including devices and detonators which officers feared could explode. More than 200 homes nearby were evacuated with some families being moved to a local community centre and then a school hall. Residents have yet to be given an estimate of when they can return to their homes. A bomb disposal team carried out a series of safe detonations in a nearby field. They were continuing to work through the house on Thursday to ensure it was safe. Merseyside Police earlier said the address "presented a challenge" as all the rooms in the house contained a "considerable number" of belongings that Mr Nelson had collected over the years. In a later update, the force revealed more improvised explosive devices (IEDs) had been found. It said the area would remained cordoned off overnight into Friday due to concerns that further devices could be found. Some of the ordnance is believed to date back to World War Two. Merseyside Police said Mr Nelson's father was believed to have been in the Home Guard. Chief Inspector Chris Barnes said: 'We realise this will be a really frustrating time for those who have been displaced from their homes and would like to reassure them that we will work our way through the house, with EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) specialists, as quickly as we can, but public safety is our ultimate priority and we have to make sure the search is done properly.'Residents have been incredibly understanding and patient throughout and I know the community, families and friends have pulled together to minimise the impact this incident has on all those affected.'St Helens Borough Council continues to provide assistance based at Chain Lane Community Centre, supported by our PCSOs and I would encourage anyone with concerns to visit the centre where help will be at hand.'Motorists and pedestrians are advised to avoid the road while emergency services remain at the scene.
