Pedestrian Accidents

FLORIDA PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT LAWYER

With our warm climate, South Floridians enjoy the ability to comfortably take full advantage of year-round pedestrian activities, whether on our beaches, sidewalks, trails, or avenues. Perhaps due in part to the year-round warm weather and crowded attractions and thoroughfares, Florida has seen an epidemic of pedestrian accidents. A 2014 study found that Florida was by the far most dangerous state in the country for pedestrians, with Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, and Miami being the top four most dangerous major cities nationwide for pedestrians. At Lesser, Lesser, Landy & Smith, we have been representing injured pedestrians across South Florida since our firm’s founding in West Palm Beach in 1927. Our pedestrian accident lawyers bring those nearly nine decades of experience to bear in fighting for maximum recovery for each and every one of our injured clients.

Common Factors Involved in Pedestrian Accidents

It should come as no surprise that when a pedestrian collides with a vehicle of any kind, it is the pedestrian who suffers the vast majority if not all of the injuries. Children and older adults are the most at risk for pedestrian accidents. Common causes of pedestrian accidents include:

  • Intoxicated drivers and pedestrians
  • Speeding
  • A driver’s failure to stop at a stop sign or light
  • Poorly designed crosswalks and sidewalks
  • Pedestrian entrance into the street at non-designated areas

Note that both driver and pedestrian fault may play a part in causing an accident. Because Florida has what is called a “contributory fault” system, a plaintiff’s recovery may be reduced by his or her proportion of fault. Importantly, however, a plaintiff may still successfully win at least partial recovery even if a court finds the pedestrian partially at fault. Defense lawyers and insurers may try to intimidate you into withdrawing your claim based on fault, but we will fight for every penny you are owed under the law.
