Pedestrian accidents in Florida take place multiple times each day. According to current statistics, there are at least two fatalities reported every day in pedestrian crashes, and many more will be injured. The odds of being hurt or killed in a Florida pedestrian crash are far greater than crashes involving vehicles.
