Pedestrian Accident

Did you know that, according to a report by the pedestrian-safety organization, Smart Growth America, the region of South Florida ranked 13th among the nation’s most dangerous regions for pedestrians over the last decade? This data was gathered between 2010 and 2019 and ranks the state of Florida as number one with 5,893 pedestrian deaths in that time period. If you or someone you know has been injured as a result of a pedestrian accident, it is in your best interest to consult with an experienced Florida pedestrian accident Lawyer in South Florida soon after the accident.

But pedestrian accidents don’t always result in death. When a careless driver hits a pedestrian, the results can be catastrophic. Pedestrians injured in car accidents often suffer severe, permanent injuries. Whether the driver that struck you was distracted, failed to yield, or was driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol, you have a right to hold them accountable for their negligence. Depending on the circumstances of your accident, you may seek compensation for your past and future medical bills, past and future wages, pain and suffering, and more.

What to Do After a Pedestrian Accident in Florida?

If you are in a pedestrian accident, make sure to immediately seek medical attention. Call the police and document the accident, ensuring you get an accident report. Although it’s extremely rare for a pedestrian to be held wholly responsible for an accident, never apologize or admit fault. Even if are only slightly injured, it’s important to follow these steps; it’s common to not realize the extent of your injuries at the time of an accident. Many symptoms manifest after a period of time has elapsed.
