Sadly, approximately two fatal pedestrian crashes will be reported each day in Florida. Many pedestrian crashes occur as a result of driver negligence, including distraction, impairment, and speeding or reckless driving. The cause of each pedestrian accident must be carefully examined to determine fault. When the driver is at fault, an injured pedestrian has a legal right to recover compensation for their injuries and pain and suffering.
