Being right won’t protect you. Being aware will.
The Crosswalk Isn’t Always Safe
Crosswalks are supposed to protect pedestrians—but far too often, they become the scene of serious injuries or even fatalities. According to the Governors Highway Safety Association, Florida ranks among the worst states for pedestrian deaths, with Miami-Dade leading the state in pedestrian-auto collisions.
Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents:
- Texting while driving
- Running red lights or ignoring stop signs
- Making illegal U-turns
- Speeding through intersections
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Poor visibility at night
- Distracted or aggressive cyclists on sidewalks
Whether it’s day or night, pedestrians are often no match for reckless drivers rushing through busy intersections.
Why Pedestrian Injuries Are So Serious
Unlike drivers, pedestrians have no protection in a crash. The injuries can be catastrophic:
- Head trauma or brain injury
- Fractured bones
- Spinal cord damage
- Internal bleeding
- Permanent disability or wrongful death
Even a minor-looking injury like a bump to the head could lead to long-term issues if not properly treated. That’s why immediate medical attention is critical.
