Pedestrian accidents can occur at any place, at any time and can involve adults and children alike. The innocent victims of these accidents can be left with injuries that have life altering consequences.
On average, a pedestrian is struck by a motor vehicle every hour in the state of Florida. These pedestrian accidents account for nearly 500 deaths and over 7,000 injuries on a yearly basis.
Due to the nature of the injuries involved in these collisions, the cost of medical treatment can quickly exceed the victim’s ability to pay.
Both pedestrians and motorists have a responsibility to follow the laws of the road. Depending on the circumstances of the accident, the pedestrian, driver or both can be responsible for the collision.
If the driver of an automobile is found completely or partially at fault, they can be held accountable, including compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering and emotional damages.
If you or someone you love has been injured in a pedestrian accident, our experienced injury lawyers are waiting to help you you.
NO FEES UNLESS WE WIN
We believe that the costs associated with hiring a lawyer shouldn’t prevent any serious pedestrian accident victim from obtaining sound legal counsel. Because of this, our law firm handles all pedestrian accident claims on a contingency fee basis. This means there are no out of pocket expenses and you only owe attorney’s fees if we settle your claim or win a favorable verdict in court.
Pedestrian Accident Injuries
The human body is not designed to withstand the dramatic forces involved with being struck by a motor vehicle. When automobiles collide with a pedestrian, unimaginable physical injuries to the pedestrian are often involved. These injuries may include:
- Traumatic Brain Injuries
- Spinal Cord Injuries
- Amputation of Limbs
- Broken Bones
- Burn Injuries
- Severe Lacerations
- Severe Scarring and Disfigurement
- Permanent Disabilities and Paralysis
- Wrongful Death

Pedestrian Accident Compensation
When filing a pedestrian injury lawsuit, to ensure fair compensation is received, all damages related to the accident should be considered. These damages should include:
- Past Medical Expenses

- Future Medical Treatment or Long-Term Care Expenses
- Future Lost Wages Due to Inability to Work
- Damages for Pain and Suffering
For pedestrian accidents involving severe injuries or death, calculating these damages accurately can be difficult.
