PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENTS
Florida Pedestrian Accidents Lawyers
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Board, more than 7,000 pedestrians were killed in crashes with motor vehicles. With beaches, warm weather, amusement parks, museums, and year-round vacationers, Florida has a high concentration of pedestrians enjoying everything the Sunshine State has to offer. As a result, Florida is among the leaders in the United States for pedestrian accidents, a figure that continues to grow.
While simple safety precautions can reduce your chances of being hit, accidents can and do happen. Unfortunately, vehicle-pedestrian accidents are often catastrophic, if not fatal. Pedestrians should always look for listed crosswalks and be prepared to remain vigilant, especially as nightfall arrives. If a negligent driver has injured you or a loved one, it is important to know your rights.

Following an accident, insurance representatives may attempt to contact you, ask you to provide a recorded statement, and try to minimize liability. Do not discuss your accident with the insurance company before calling The Robinson Law Group for a FREE CONSULTATION. Florida requires certain insurance coverage for automobiles. Therefore, if you are hit by a vehicle and you do not have an automobile insurance policy of your own, you may qualify for Personal Injury Protection under the at-fault driver’s policy as a pedestrian. This could help pay for your medical bills and lost wages as a result of their negligence.
