According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), nearly 500 pedestrians are killed in Florida traffic accidents each year.
If you or someone you love has been hurt in a pedestrian accident, you deserve to be compensated—not only for your financial losses but also for the pain and suffering you’ve been forced to endure.
Pedestrian accidents are almost always caused by driver negligence or recklessness. Victims of pedestrian accidents often face severe, debilitating injuries, costly medical bills, lost wages, and other damages. The most common causes of pedestrian accidents come from negligent drivers who:
- Drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Talk on the phone or text while driving
- Violate traffic laws or ignore traffic signals
- Drive recklessly or disregard the speed limit
- Fail to use caution in residential areas
- Fail to yield the right of way to pedestrians
The injuries sustained in pedestrian accidents can be catastrophic, and the cost of medical care and lost income can be exorbitant. To reduce their liability, the insurance company or defendant may try to coerce you into providing a recorded statement that can be used to dispute liability or your damages.
