The Vulnerability of Pedestrians on Miami Streets
Drivers have a fundamental duty of care to watch for people on foot. Accidents are most often caused by driver negligence, including:
Distracted Driving: Texting, talking on the phone, or using a GPS.
Failure to Yield at Crosswalks: Ignoring a pedestrian’s clear right of way.
Speeding in Residential Areas or Parking Lots.
Driving Under the Influence (DUI).
Making turns without looking for people crossing the street.
