Injured as a Pedestrian? You May Be Entitled to Compensation.

Medical expenses (past and future)
Lost income and loss of earning capacity
Disfigurement or disability
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Property damage
Loss of enjoyment of life

Additional Information
Suppose you’re a Florida resident and own an insured vehicle. In that case, you’re likely covered by Personal Injury Protection (PIP). To access coverage after a pedestrian accident, even if you weren’t driving a car.
If you own a vehicle, your personal injury protection (PIP) insurance may help cover your medical bills and lost wages. If not, you may be covered under the at-fault driver’s policy.
This means you or your family members listed on your policy can use PIP to cover medically necessary expenses and lost wages after a pedestrian accident, even if you were at fault for the incident.
If you don’t own a vehicle but were injured by a motor vehicle, the PIP coverage of that vehicle’s owner will typically cover your medical bills. However, if you’re not a Florida resident, you won’t qualify for PIP benefits.
For those who don’t own a vehicle or aren’t Florida residents, there may still be ways to have your medical bills covered, either through PIP or other means, though the process becomes more complex. Our knowledgeable lawyers can explain all your rights to you.
Even if you’re a non-resident or uninsured, our attorneys will explore every available option, including:
PIP from the motor vehicle that struck you
Medical Payments (MedPay) coverage
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) policies
Filing a pedestrian accident lawsuit against the responsible party
For purposes of PIP coverage, you are considered a pedestrian if you are:
walking
standing
sitting down
riding a bicycle
riding a skateboard or roller blades
riding a scooter or moped
We’ll guide you through the claims process and make sure your medical bills don’t go unpaid. Don’t wait. Call us today to explore your options before it’s too late.
Florida follows a “no-fault” insurance system, which means most pedestrian accident victims turn to their own insurer first, regardless of who was at fault. But no-fault rules come with strict deadlines and documentation requirements.
To preserve your pedestrian accident claim:
Seek medical treatment within 14 days
Report the incident to the police and insurance
Avoid admitting fault—contact an experienced pedestrian accident lawyer first
Don’t face this process alone. Let a West Palm Beach pedestrian accident attorney guide you every step of the way after a serious injury.
Worried you may be partially responsible for the pedestrian accident? Florida law follows modified comparative negligence with a 51% bar rule. This applies to most pedestrian accident lawsuits, including many cases that result in pedestrian deaths or serious injuries.
If you are found 50% or less at fault, you can still recover compensation. Our team will work to minimize your assigned fault and maximize your recovery.
Most pedestrian-involved traffic accidents occur due to negligence by at least one party. To recover compensation, the injured party must prove that another party is legally at fault for their injuries. Proving liability is rarely straightforward and typically requires showing:
The other party owed the victim a duty of care.
That duty was violated, and
The violation directly resulted in the victim’s injuries.
Insurance companies often work aggressively to avoid paying claims. They may outright deny liability, attempt to place as much blame as possible on the victim (see the Comparative Negligence discussion), or argue that the injuries are less severe than claimed.
To support these tactics, they employ adjusters, lawyers, doctors, and technical experts to ensure they pay as little as possible.
Navigating this process alone is a nearly impossible task for accident victims. However, partnering with a board-certified trial lawyer who specializes in pedestrian accidents can help balance the scales and greatly improve your odds of obtaining the full and fair compensation you deserve.
An insurance company may approach a pedestrian accident victim with a quick, lowball offer, especially in cases involving severe injuries, pedestrian fatalities, or distracted driving. These tactics are common in most pedestrian accidents, where the insurer hopes victims will settle before understanding the full value of their pedestrian accident case.
Without legal counsel, it’s nearly impossible to know whether the offer reflects the true value of your claim. We compare offers against real data from pedestrian accident lawsuits, verdicts, and settlements, ensuring you don’t walk away with less than you deserve.

Florida Pedestrian Law: Know Your Rights
Florida laws are strict for both drivers and injured pedestrians. Many car accidents involving pedestrians stem from drivers failing to yield at crosswalks or driving distracted. Understanding these causes of pedestrian accidents helps our team build strong, evidence-based claims.
