(USGovernment-News.Com, September 29, 2012 ) WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - In the United States a pedestrian is killed in a traffic crash every two hours. Pedestrian crashes are a huge problem in Florida. The State is second in the nation in pedestrian fatalities. If you have lost a loved one in pedestrian accident, you may be eligible for legal recourse. An experienced pedestrian injury lawyer can advise you on your legal rights and options.
In 2010, an estimated 70,000 pedestrians were injured in traffic crashes, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Due to the lack of protection that pedestrians have in an accident, the majority of crashes result in injuries. Common injuries sustained in pedestrian crashes include: bone fractures, head trauma, spinal cord injuries, lacerations and neck injuries.
Individuals that have sustained serious injuries in pedestrian accidents may have grounds to file a personal injury lawsuit. Injured pedestrians may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages and property damage. After an individual has been injured in a traffic crash, it’s imperative for them to seek consultation from an attorney. A knowledgeable attorney can guide them on the best course of action.
