The Miami-Fort Lauderdale metro area is routinely named one the most dangerous in the nation for bicycle and pedestrian accidents. Bicycle and pedestrian accident attorneys in Miramar understand children are at substantial risks for injury. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports children are at particularly high risk for backover accidents, which most commonly occur in parking lots and near private drives.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the most common accident risks for child injury include:
- Car Accidents
- Drowning Accidents
- Fall Accidents
- Suffocation Injuries
- Fires and Burns
- Defective Product Accidents
Defective product injuries in Miramar and elsewhere in South Florida are becoming an increasingly common concern. Record numbers of products are recalled each year. Fewer than 10 percent of those items are ever returned or repaired. Consumers are urged to check with the Consumer Product Safety Commission for commonly recalled items. Common children’s items include:
- Cribs
- Safety Seats
- High Chairs
- Drawstring Clothing
- Toys
Still, auto accidents remain the most likely cause of child injury. In that regard, they share the risks with their adult counterparts. The U.S. Department of Transportation reports Florida is among the deadliest states in the nation for all types of motor vehicle accidents, including drunk driving accidents, trucking accidents and bus accidents.
And Florida’s place as one of the nation’s premiere vacation destination comes with a responsibility on the part of hotel and resort owners to provide adequately for the safety of customers and guests. Common accidents and injuries on Hotel property include:
- Slip and Fall Accidents
- Assault (negligent security)
- Swimming Pool Accidents
- Balcony Accidents
- Beach Accidents
- Rental Equipment Accidents
Injuries to tourists can be complicated by an out-of-state victim. However, documenting your injuries and consulting an experienced accident attorney can help protect your rights. This can be particularly valuable if medical complications later arise that make it necessary to file a claim.
