Thinking of renting a car when visiting Florida? Think again says John Fitch, an Ohio personal injury law firm. They analyzed data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to reveal how the most common types of fatal car accidents in Florida happen. #1 on the list? Pedestrian accidents. Compared to other tourist-rich destinations, it’s as though visitors run people down on purpose when they come to visit.

The top three most common types of death by car in Florida are:

1. Pedestrian accidents
2. Angle collisions
3. Front-to-Rear collisions

The study also explains how the type of car accident can impact an insurance claim. For example, collisions not involving vehicles in transport are often caused by distracted driving, which can lead to more severe injuries and higher insurance payouts.

Also recommended when visiting Florida: seek legal help after being involved in a car accident, even if you have travel insurance. A lawyer on your side can review the damages and fight for the compensation you deserve. In Florida, it’s a sport! Four tips for choosing the right car accident lawyer:

2. Make sure the firm has a history of success in personal injury law.
3. Find someone with evidence of positive client communication.
4. Get recommendations from friends and family.

Overall, the study provides important information about the most common types of fatal car accidents in Florida and how they can impact insurance claims.
