Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents
Most pedestrian accidents are entirely preventable. They occur because drivers fail to exercise reasonable care.
Some of the most common causes include:
- Distracted driving
- Texting while driving
- Speeding
- Failure to yield at crosswalks
- Running red lights
- Drunk or impaired driving
- Illegal turns
- Backing up without checking surroundings
- Poor visibility
- Aggressive driving
If another person’s negligence caused your injuries, you may be entitled to financial compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Florida follows a modified comparative negligence system. Even if you were partially responsible, you may still recover compensation depending on the circumstances, although your recovery could be reduced by your percentage of fault.
How long do I have to file a pedestrian accident claim in Florida?
Deadlines vary depending on the circumstances of your case. Speaking with an attorney as soon as possible helps protect your legal rights and preserve important evidence.
How much is my pedestrian accident case worth?
The value depends on factors including:
• Severity of injuries
• Medical expenses
• Future treatment
• Lost income
• Permanent disability
• Pain and suffering
• Insurance coverage available
Every case is different.
Should I speak with the driver's insurance company?
Not before consulting with an attorney. Insurance companies often attempt to obtain statements that can reduce the value of your claim.
How much does it cost to hire your firm?
Nothing upfront.
We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no attorney’s fees unless we recover compensation for you.
