Experienced Pedestrian Accident Attorneys – Palm Beach County, Florida

We're the experienced pedestrian accident law firm

A National Highway Traffic Safety Administration study shows that more than 78,000 pedestrians suffer injury when hit by a car or truck. More than 5,000 pedestrians die each year in motor vehicle related accidents. Unfortunately many of these victims are young children and the elderly. Whether you are a walker, jogger or a bicyclist, pedestrian accidents can cause catastrophic personal injuries or even death.

Pedestrians often suffer life-changing consequences when hit by a car, truck, train, bus or other motor vehicle. While Florida’s great weather and year-round outdoor environment draw people outside, they also put pedestrians at risk, in close proximity to all the motor vehicles on Florida’s congested, busy streets.

There are many potential causes for pedestrian accidents including:

• Careless Drivers 
  • Speeding, tailgating and other aggressive driving maneuvers
  • Red light running or running a stop sign
  • Backing up without looking
  • Failing to yield to pedestrians in walkways
  • Driver inattention at intersections
  • Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Fatigued drivers – falling asleep at the wheel
  • Distracted Drivers – radio, cell phone or passengers

• The Environment
  • Poor property maintenance
  • Poorly maintained sidewalks or parking lot defects
  • Road construction and debris in roadway
  • Poor lighting
  • Faulty signals or lack of signage
