Even if you obey all rules of the road, and cross only when you should at a cross walk, as a pedestrian, you can potentially be at risk of sustaining severe injuries on Miami roads. Without the protection offered by a car or other vehicle, a pedestrian stands little chance when involved in a collision. In fact, an average of 13 pedestrians die in traffic accidents across the United States every single day. Children and the elderly are generally most at risk of being struck by a vehicle, but a Miami pedestrian accident could happen to anyone. When it does, a skilled and experienced attorney from Dante Law Firm, P.A. could be your key to recovering the maximum compensation available. Contact us today.
The Facts About Pedestrian Accidents in Miami
Pedestrian accidents in Miami, and across the United States, are likely to increase as more drivers adopt dangerous habits, such as checking or updating social media, or otherwise using their cellphones while behind the wheel. Whatever the reason, when a 3,000-pound car or other motor vehicle collides with a pedestrian, the consequences are almost certainly going to be severe.
Even where a Miami pedestrian accident does not result in a fatality, serious injuries, such as those listen below, are regularly seen by a Miami pedestrian accident attorney:
Traumatic brain injuries
Spinal cord injuries
Burns
Lacerations
Internal organ damage
Fractures
Loss of limbs
Paralysis
In terms of who is most at risk of being involved in a Miami pedestrian accident, and when those accidents are most likely to occur, the statistics communicated with our Miami pedestrian accident attorneys illustrate that:
20% of all children, aged between 5 and 9, who are killed in traffic accidents lose their lives to a pedestrian accident
Children aged between 10 and 15 are three times more likely to be involved in a Miami pedestrian accident than an adult aged 60
70% of those injured in pedestrian accidents, both in Miami and across the United States, are male
Pedestrian accidents are most likely to occur on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, between 8pm and midnight
Common Causes of Miami Pedestrian Accidents, and How an Attorney Can Help
Drivers under the influence of drugs or alcohol, distracted drivers, and those driving at excessive speed or otherwise recklessly can easily veer off course, or leave the road entirely, colliding with innocent pedestrians who just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Pedestrians on crosswalks, who are obeying the law relating to crossing the road, can be at high risk of being struck by distracted or reckless drivers too.

The staff at Dante Law weren't only professional and extremely efficient but also accommodating. I didn't have to track back and forth to the office, everything was handled through emails, text messages, and phone calls. They were even able to get me a check for my accident without any hassle or fuss. It was a great experience and although I pray I never have another accident; at least I know the best accident attorney staff to go to.
