Pedestrian Accidents in Florida
According to information provided by A Safer Florida, the Sunshine State has the highest pedestrian fatality rate in the United States. This may be because Florida has one of the highest populations of all of the states in the country, which undoubtedly makes for high crash rates.
As of recent data, between 2010 and 2021, pedestrian accident deaths in the US have been rising. In 2021, more than 7,500 pedestrians were killed in traffic collisions, reflecting a significant rise compared to previous years. The overall number of pedestrian accident deaths has increased by approximately 50% since 2009.
Pedestrians are the most at-risk travelers on American roadways. They often suffer severe or even fatal injuries when they become involved in traffic accidents. If pedestrians do survive their injuries, they are often faced with severe and even devastating consequences in the aftermath of their accidents. They may face physical, emotional, and financial implications after their accidents.
