Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents in Florida
Pedestrian accidents can occur in a variety of ways. Perhaps the most common type of pedestrian accident is when a pedestrian is struck by a car. This often results in serious injuries, as cars are much larger and heavier than people, making the impact of a hit potentially catastrophic in nature. Pedestrian accidents can also occur when a pedestrian is hit by a bus or train, or when they slip and fall on a sidewalk.
Whatever the cause of your pedestrian accident, it is important to seek legal help right away. The attorneys at Pittman Law Firm, P.L. are experienced in handling pedestrian accident cases, and we will work tirelessly to get you the compensation you deserve.
Other common pedestrian accidents include:
- Back-up accidents – when a pedestrian is hit by a driver while backing up the vehicle. These are common in parking lots.
- Dart-out accidents – when a pedestrian appears to suddenly dart into the road, oncoming drivers may not have time to safely stop.
- Intersection accidents – when crossing an intersection is mistimed or the driver does not see the person crossing, an accident can occur.
- Passing accidents – when a pedestrian is hit due to a driver attempting to illegally or unsafely pass another vehicle on the road.
- Turns & merging accidents – when a driver fails to look both ways and does not see a pedestrian before making a turn or merging into another lane.
- Vendor accidents – when the driver of a vendor vehicle does not see a pedestrian and hits them as a result. These are common in neighborhoods and at events where food trucks gather.
