What Can You Do About Pedestrian Injuries in Fort Lauderdale?
We cross the streets everyday without much concern, but thousands of pedestrians suffer severe injuries or die every year doing just that. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, pedestrians are one-and-a-half times more likely to be killed as a result of a vehicular accident than the occupants of the vehicle involved in the incident. While driver negligence is typically the main cause for pedestrian injuries, pedestrians can also place themselves at higher risk due to carelessness, such as not crossing in clearly designated zones or not paying proper attention to street signs and traffic lights.
If the accident to the pedestrian was clearly the result of someone else’s negligence, however, a person suffering injuries resulting from such an accident may be entitled to compensation, from the driver who caused the accident, to cover the costs of the resulting injuries and losses – including present and future medical costs related directly to the accident. Likewise, the family of a pedestrian killed in an accident may also be entitled to receive appropriate monetary damages.
