Freeman Injury Law maintains offices at 5 Harvard Cir #110, West Palm Beach, FL 33409, providing dedicated representation for pedestrian accident victims. Florida ranks among the most hazardous states for walkers, with a pedestrian injury rate nearly double the national average at 2.60 per 100,000 persons. Although Florida represents just 6% of the U.S. population, it accounts for 11% of all pedestrian deaths. In a single recent year, Florida officials tallied 499 pedestrian deaths, 2,072 nonfatal pedestrian injury hospitalizations, and 7,650 non-fatal emergency room visits. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports pedestrians are 1.5 times more likely per trip than vehicle occupants to be killed, with a pedestrian death occurring nationwide every 2 hours. The Dangerous by Design 2014 report revealed the problem is especially pronounced in the Southeastern U.S., particularly Florida, where much infrastructure was designed for fast-moving cars with little pedestrian consideration. Common accident causes include driver inattention, failure to observe speed limits, impairment, disobedience of traffic signals, and failure to yield right-of-way at crosswalks.

Meltzer & Bell, P.A. operates from 515 N Flagler Dr #240, West Palm Beach, FL 33401, representing clients facing pedestrian accident charges throughout Florida. When driving and momentarily looking away from the road results in striking a pedestrian, the consequences become severe, potentially including restitution, fines, and imprisonment. In Florida, pedestrians are classified as “vulnerable road users,” encompassing individuals working on highways, bicycle riders, animal riders, farm tractor operators, people on skateboards, and wheelchair users. Drivers who fail to stop after hitting a pedestrian face third-degree felony charges punishable by up to 5 years in prison and $5,000 in fines. If a pedestrian dies and the driver leaves the scene, penalties escalate to first-degree felony charges with mandatory minimum four-year sentences and up to 30 years imprisonment. Convicted individuals must complete 120 hours at trauma centers, participate in victim impact panels, and pay all restitution costs before license reinstatement.
