Pedestrian Accidents

Imagine that you and your family are walking around your neighborhood, en route to shopping, or dinning out, or your children are walking to school, when all of a sudden, a car comes out of nowhere and forever changes your life. As difficult as it may be to imagine, the reality is that, in Florida, hundreds of pedestrians are killed or injured each year when struck by a motor vehicle.

In 2008, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported 490 pedestrians killed in Florida and reported that out of the ten (10) most dangerous cities for pedestrians, five of those cities are located in Florida.

Most pedestrian accidents are the result of negligent and reckless drivers who are speeding, distracted, under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or violating traffic laws, failing to yield to pedestrians.
