There are approximately two fatal pedestrian accidents per day in Florida. Last year, more than 700 people were killed in Florida pedestrian accidents throughout our state, making Florida one of the deadliest states in the nation for these types of crashes. A pedestrian crash takes place very suddenly and unexpectedly and frequently leaves victims and their families in a very difficult position.
