Florida residents are able to enjoy the outdoors year round due to the tropical and pleasant climate of the State. With such nice year round temperatures, it generally means Florida residents, as well as numerous vacationers, are enjoying outdoor activities such as walking, jogging, biking and fitness training. While bicycle fatalities have slightly decreased in Florida over the past couple of years, pedestrian fatalities have increased. Unfortunately, Florida leads the nation in pedestrian deaths. In fact, a fairly recent survey found that the top four (4) cities for pedestrian accidents in the nation were all in Florida. The Tampa – St. Petersburg – Clearwater area ranked second among the nation's most dangerous cities for pedestrian accidents. Our Tampa Pedestrian Accident Attorneys have litigated numerous personal injury cases that have involved pedestrian related injuries.
