Pedestrian Accident Attorneys

Most pedestrian crashes happen at intersections, in crosswalks, in parking lots, or when a driver is backing up without checking. Distracted driving, failure to yield, speeding through residential streets, and impaired driving are the leading causes.

Pedestrian injuries are almost always serious: fractures, internal bleeding, spinal cord damage, and traumatic brain injuries are common even at low vehicle speeds. Compensation may cover extended hospitalization, surgeries, rehabilitation, in-home care, lost income, and pain and suffering.

Adjusters frequently argue the pedestrian was jaywalking, distracted by a phone, or wearing dark clothing. Both California and Florida allow comparative fault arguments, but drivers still owe a heightened duty of care — especially in residential areas, near schools, and around parked cars where visibility is limited.

Where the driver fled the scene, the case doesn't end. We investigate through nearby cameras, license-plate readers, and witnesses, and we pursue your own uninsured motorist coverage while the search continues.
