Florida is a state with wonderful attractions, beautiful beaches, and a thriving city scene. Whether a person is cycling through downtown Jacksonville, taking a jog, or walking their children to school, they shouldn’t have to worry about negligent, distracted, or reckless drivers on the roads they share.
However, Florida is known as the deadliest state to pedestrians. According to a 2019 report by Smart Growth America, Florida has the highest per capita deaths in pedestrian accidents. On their list of the 20 deadliest cities for pedestrians, Florida cities claim nine spots, including Orlando, Jacksonville, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and more.
If you or a loved one was struck by a negligent motorist, you are entitled to compensation. Let the team at Steinger, Green & Feiner professionally investigate your case and ensure you get the compensation you deserve.

Most Common Type of Injuries Following a Pedestrian Accident
Here are some common injuries associated with pedestrian accidents.
- Lacerations – cuts or scrapes can occur in nearly all pedestrian accidents. These lacerations can lead to more serious issues like infections or possible amputation.
- Broken bones – This happens in pedestrian accidents frequently, especially in the lower extremities, but broken bones can happen all over the body.
- Pelvis fracture – If the pelvis is fractured in a pedestrian accident, it can cause limitations to movement and more. This quite serious injury can have lingering issues in the future.
- Tendon or ligament injuries – When your tendons or ligaments are torn, cut, or damaged, it can inhibit mobility, which limits your capacity to work or enjoy life as you once did.
- Concussions – Hitting your head hard enough to cause brain swelling may lead to serious issues like brain damage, coma, or an inability to focus.
- Neck and spine injuries – Both of these injuries can result in a limited capacity to work or move, and may even result in paralysis.
- Skull fracture – Cracking or fracturing your skull may cause brain damage as its job is to protect the brain from trauma.

I cannot recommend Orel Kupeer enough. I was involved in two car accidents back-to-back while pregnant, and it was one of the most stressful times of my life. From the very beginning, Orel and his team were professional, compassionate, … More and incredibly supportive.He took the time to explain every step of the process, handled both claims efficiently, and made sure I felt protected and informed throughout everything. Being pregnant during the accidents made the situation even more overwhelming, but Orel truly advocated for me and made my well-being a priority.He communicated clearly, stayed on top of everything, and fought to make sure I was treated fairly. I am beyond grateful for his dedication and hard work. If you’re looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely cares about his clients, I highly recommend Orel Kupeer.
