Pedestrian Accidents

A pedestrian accident claim is a legal pathway for individuals who have been hit by a vehicle while on foot to seek compensation for their injuries. Pedestrians are especially vulnerable in collisions with cars, trucks, and motorcycles, often resulting in severe injuries such as fractures, traumatic brain injuries, and back injuries. Florida law holds drivers accountable when they fail to yield or drive responsibly, putting pedestrians at risk.

Who Should File a Claim and Why Having an Attorney Is Essential

• Benefits of Filing: Filing a claim enables injured pedestrians to recover compensation for costly medical treatments, ongoing therapy, lost earnings, and other expenses stemming from the accident. For those with significant or life-altering injuries, a claim can help provide the support needed for long-term care.
• Consequences Without Representation: Insurance companies often attempt to downplay or reject pedestrian accident claims, blaming pedestrians or minimizing injuries to avoid paying fair compensation. Without legal representation, pedestrians may face low settlements or no recovery at all. Florida has a four-year statute of limitations for pedestrian accident claims, making it crucial to act quickly to safeguard your right to compensation.
