Babiarz Law Firm, P.A.

Florida Motorcycle and Pedestrian Accident Lawyer:

Motorcycles and pedestrians both face the increased likelihood of serious injury or worse if a traffic crash occurs because they both lack the traditional protections afforded by seatbelts, airbags, and cars designed with crush zones to absorb impact in the event of a crash. For example, of the 3,244 traffic fatalities in Florida in 2004, there were 432 motorcyclists killed. Motorcyclists make up 13.3% of all traffic fatalities in Florida in 2004. Similarly, 2004 involved 493 pedestrian deaths on Florida roadways, which comprised approximately 15.2% of Florida's traffic fatalities.
