South Bay is the westernmost city that makes up the metropolitan area of South Florida. The community is located near the southern tip of Lake Okeechobee and lies at the junction of major north/south and east/west highways. A part of Palm Beach County’s “other coast,” the community retains its small town charm but offers convenient access to the cosmopolitan amenities of Florida’s Gold Coast and Treasure Coast. While South Bay’s population numbers around 4,000 people, more than ten times that number reside within about a 25-mile radius of the city.

At Freeman Injury Law, our South Bay personal injury and car accident attorneys know that small towns are just as likely to see their share of traffic accidents as their big city neighbors are. With more than 235,000 crashes per year occurring statewide, most every community in Florida is touched by the effects of motor vehicle collisions. Our own Palm Beach County averages about 257 crashes per week, leaving thousands of people with injuries.

When people hear the term “pedestrian accident,” they may not immediately connect that event to involvement with cars, trucks, or other vehicles. But our South Bay personal injury lawyers know that nearly 19% of Florida traffic fatalities are classified as pedestrian accidents. Some 8,248 crashes each year involve pedestrians, and 7,676 of those individuals suffer injuries. Pedestrians have no protection when they’re struck by a car or truck, so the physical damage they sustain can be serious. Another complication is alcohol. Our experienced South Bay car accident lawyers know that research shows that about 10% of pedestrians involved in crashes have been drinking. When the focus narrows to pedestrian fatalities, the percentage tops 40% in Florida.
