Florida Pedestrian Accident Attorney – Protecting Your Rights

Pedestrian accidents in Florida are alarmingly common, with thousands of people suffering serious injuries or fatalities each year. According to the Federal Highway Safety Administration, approximately 59,000 pedestrians are injured in roadway crashes annually, and pedestrian fatalities make up 12% of all traffic-related deaths.

Many pedestrian accidents occur at busy intersections, crosswalks, and roadsides, often due to distracted driving, speeding, or failure to yield. A brief moment of inattention from a careless driver can result in devastating injuries, including:

• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
• Spinal Cord Injuries
• Broken Bones & Fractures
• Dislocated Joints & Internal Injuries

Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents in Florida

Negligent driving behaviors often lead to serious pedestrian injuries, including:

• Failure to stop or yield at crosswalks and intersections
• Speeding in residential or pedestrian-heavy areas
• Running red lights or ignoring traffic signals
• Distracted driving (texting, phone use, etc.)

Holding Negligent Drivers Accountable

Florida law requires motorists to yield to pedestrians at marked intersections and crosswalks. If a reckless driver causes an accident, they should be held accountable for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
