Road shoulder accidents unfortunately occur all of the time in the State of Florida. People may be located on the side of the road for various reasons.

For whatever reason, passing vehicles may drive off of the roadway and into the shoulder of the roadway and hit people in that area. When that happens, the results can be catastrophic injuries or even death. This can occur on highways, freeways or thruways – or on smaller roadways.

Pedestrians also frequently walk on sidewalks. Vehicles who drive off of roadways and hit pedestrians on sidewalks will clearly be responsible for any injuries or death caused.

Vehicles may leave their lanes of traffic and onto road shoulders for various reasons. These include drunk/drinking and driving (DUI). It may also involve phone usage/texting and driving/distracted driving.

Finally, over-tired drivers driving off of roadways may drive into road shoulders, hitting vehicles and pedestrians and cause injuries. Frequently, truck drivers will drive overtired, fall asleep and drive off of roadways. Most trucking companies require that truck drivers sleep a certain number of hours for certain distances travelled. However, this doesn’t always happen, and truck drivers can become over-tired, drive off of roadways and impact pedestrians and other vehicles as a result.

Vehicles may also leave roadways and drive into “swales” – causing injuries to people located there.

Road shoulder crashes can also be caused by faulty roadway construction. That is, oftentimes roadways are designed with inadequate/dangerously small shoulders or road shoulders that aren’t properly divided from the roadways. These faulty set-ups could potentially cause a passing vehicle to strike a pedestrian or vehicle located in the road shoulder.

Because of the nature of road shoulder wrecks, injuries caused by these accidents can be catastrophic. In fact, death often tragically results from road shoulder collisions. When somebody dies in a road shoulder accident, an estate will be set up on their behalf. A loved one will typically be appointed to represent the estate as the Personal Representative. The deceased person/decedent’s survivors will be the beneficiaries of the estate and receive any money recovered in a lawsuit.
