Pedestrian accidents are a major problem all over the country, but especially in Florida. Between the abundance of beaches and months of great weather, it is no surprise that Florida has so much pedestrian traffic. In fact, Florida ranks nearly double the national average in terms of pedestrian accident fatalities despite being on par with other states in terms of total foot traffic. If you have been hurt in an accident and need a pedestrian accident lawyer to fight for you, turn to The Ruth Law Team.
