Pedestrian Accidents in Florida: Statistics, Causes, and Prevention
The CDC reports that pedestrians are now in more danger than they have been in 40 years. The organization states that pedestrians are twice as likely to die in an accident than those in a motor vehicle. Pedestrian deaths increased by 54% between 2010 and 2020, while all other traffic fatalities only increased by 13%. Pedestrians, such as walkers, joggers, skateboarders, and rollerbladers, are more likely to be injured or die in accidents because they have no protection from being hit by a car.

We're on Your Side.
When someone’s negligence causes a car accident, and you suffer injuries and damage to your vehicle, we will fight for your rights and strive to hold the liable party responsible for their actions. Florida has a few state laws you may not be aware of that could have a huge impact on your personal injury claim. For example, there is a four-year deadline to file a car accident lawsuit. Florida has a Pure Comparative Fault rule, which may allow you to collect damages even if you’re partially responsible for the accident, depending on the circumstances.
As former prosecutors, our attorneys use their unique insight into the inner workings of the court system to seek the maximum compensation allowed for your situation. You can trust them to take charge of your case and keep you in the loop. Most people don’t know how lengthy the claim process is, but we set realistic expectations, so our clients can know where they stand at all times. If you’re in Lake County, Florida, and have been involved in a car accident, call us today.
