Pedestrian Accidents in Florida
Pedestrians are some of the most at-risk parties on Florida roads due to the fact that have no protection from harm in the event of an accident. Every year, hundreds of lives are lost as a result of pedestrian accidents throughout the state. Between the years 2010 and 2019, it was reported that approximately 1,675 pedestrians were killed in accidents across Florida. Though these accidents are not as common as other accidents on Florida roads, they are some of the most severe. The stress that many families feel after a pedestrian accident can be devastating in nature, especially if you have suffered the immense loss of a loved one.
