Last year in Florida, approximately 700 people died in pedestrian crashes on our roadways. A Florida pedestrian accident can cause devastating injuries in a matter of seconds. The cause of each pedestrian crash must be carefully investigated. Frequent causes of these accidents are driver distraction and failing to yield to the pedestrian at crosswalks and other designated areas.
Our thoughts are with the family of Lisa Marie Jandura during this difficult time.
