Pedestrian Accidents in Florida

Factors such as poor visibility at night, high-speed traffic, and a lack of pedestrian crossings can contribute to these tragic incidents.
Drivers and pedestrians alike must exercise caution, particularly in areas with limited lighting and heavy vehicle flow. Pedestrians should use marked crosswalks whenever possible, and drivers must remain alert for people walking near roadways, especially at night.
