How Damages Help Pedestrian Accident Victims

With the money you recover from a claim or lawsuit, you could:

• Pay all related medical expenses, both now and in the future
• Continue to support your family, no matter how long you are unable to work
• Pay for additional accident-related expenses, such as hiring people to help you clean the house or take care of the lawn (if you previously did these things without outside assistance)
• Recover the cost of any valuable personal property, such as a cell phone, that was damaged or destroyed in the crash

You could also receive money for your physical and emotional distress, including bodily injuries, mental trauma, disabilities, scarring, or lost quality of life. This would provide you and your family with additional financial stability as you recover.

Not sure which of these damages you could qualify for? A Florida car accident lawyer from our law firm partners can help you answer that critical question. Then, they can fight to hold the liable party accountable for all of the harm they caused.

Florida Is Dangerous for Pedestrians

According to Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), there were over 8,000 pedestrian accident injuries in the state in 2023. Too many such accidents prove fatal: Page 10 of a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) report indicates that Florida is among the most dangerous states for pedestrians, with only California and Texas seeing a higher number of fatalities that year.

These accidents had a variety of causes:

• Human error: By far the most common reason behind auto accidents, human error may include speeding, ignoring traffic signs, or distracted driving committed by careless locals or tourists unfamiliar with local conditions.
• Mechanical failure: Both vehicles and streetlights can malfunction, especially if they are not properly maintained or if the manufacturer fails to conduct appropriate quality assurance tests or recall defective products.
• Environmental factors: Florida is known for both year-round good weather, which may encourage more people to walk more often, and sudden downpours, which can obscure visibility and make roads slick. In addition, the roadway itself could pose a threat if potholes, fallen or obscured signs, or debris go unaddressed.

Let our law firm partners investigate what happened and use that information to hold all the at-fault parties accountable. This party is typically a reckless driver, but it could also be a manufacturer, mechanic, or even a government agency.
