Pedestrian Crashes in Florida

A traffic accident in Florida occurs approximately once every 84 seconds or over 1,000 times per day, according to information provided by the Florida Department of Transportation. Pedestrian accidents take the lives of hundreds of people per year. Studies show that those involved in Florida pedestrian crashes are more likely to be killed than those involved in pedestrian crashes in any other state in the nation. According to statistics compiled concerning traffic accidents in the United States, approximately 94% are caused by driver negligence and/or distraction.  

Auto accidents in Florida can occur for many different reasons, but currently, the leading cause is distracted driving, specifically texting and driving. This dangerous and negligent driver behavior accounts for nearly a quarter of all car accidents in the Sunshine State. Unfortunately, about 94% of auto accidents in the US are the result of some form of driver negligence. 

Florida is ranked as one of the most dangerous states to travel through due to its high accident-fatality rate. However, Florida is one of the most highly-populated states in the nation, which directly correlates with its statistical values.
