Miami Pedestrian Accident Attorney David H. Charlip Explains the Vulnerability of a Pedestrian in a Pedestrian Accident
Jul 20, 2022
July 20, 2022 - /PressAdvantage/ - Miami pedestrian accident attorney David H. Charlip releases a new article (https://charliplawgroup.com/miami-pedestrian-accident-lawyer/) explaining the vulnerability of a pedestrian in a pedestrian accident. The lawyer mentions that Florida has become known as one of the deadliest states in the nation for pedestrians. There were over 8,000 accidents in the state in 2020 alone, with over 700 fatalities. The deaths involved in these accidents jumped by 31 percent.
“In the state of Florida, anyone traveling on foot, skateboard, rollerblade, or wheelchair is considered a pedestrian. While some laws overlap, bicyclists are not considered pedestrians in Florida. Traffic and pedestrian laws have been implemented for the safety of pedestrians and motorists alike, and yet they still don’t prevent these serious accidents from happening,” says the Miami pedestrian accident attorney.
The lawyer says that pedestrian accidents are on the rise around the United States. There are many reasons for this including weather, tourism, vehicle sizes, distracted driving, alcohol, drug use, elderly pedestrians, and pedestrian error. It is important for an accident victim to seek the help of an experienced lawyer right away.
Attorney David H. Charlip adds that when a motor vehicle comes into contact with a pedestrian, the pedestrian is generally the loser. When an unprotected individual on foot is hit by a moving object of 4,000 pounds, the pedestrian usually doesn’t stand a chance. The pedestrian is more vulnerable to serious, disabling, and life-threatening injuries.
In the article, the lawyer enumerated the most common injuries in a pedestrian accident. These injuries include severe cuts and lacerations, concussions, serious fractures, spinal cord injury, head and neck injury, back injury, internal organ damage, internal bleeding, road rash, amputation, paralysis, and wrongful death.
According to attorney Charlip, “Florida is one of a handful of states that have a no-fault insurance system. No-fault laws were implemented to ease the burden of accident victims to get benefits without having to prove fault first.”
Lastly, the personal injury attorney emphasizes the importance of having a skilled lawyer when it comes to matters such as getting compensation following a pedestrian accident. An experienced personal injury lawyer may be able to help the victim receive the compensation they deserve.
