Florida Traffic Accidents
Pedestrian crashes are a common concern in Florida, happening thousands of times per year. Sadly, these accidents often end in injuries and even fatalities for pedestrians. The majority of these crashes are caused by negligent drivers who engage in behavior like intoxication, distraction, fatigue, and speeding. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a pedestrian was killed every 88 minutes in the United States in 2022. In that year, 5,977 pedestrians were killed on American roads. Pedestrians in Florida are more likely to suffer catastrophic injuries in the case of an accident. Florida has the second-highest pedestrian mortality rate in the US, with 708 deaths in 2019.
