Pedestrians have the right to feel safe on sidewalks, crosswalks, and streets. But too often, careless drivers put lives at risk. When a car hits a pedestrian, the injuries can be catastrophic. At Davalos Legal, we fight for pedestrian accident victims across Florida. Attorney Jonny Davalos — your Law Hero — is ready to hold negligent drivers accountable and win you the compensation you deserve.
Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents
Most pedestrian accidents happen because of driver negligence:
- Distracted driving (texting, calls)
- Speeding through intersections
- Failing to yield at crosswalks
- Drunk or impaired driving
- Running stop signs or red lights
- Poor visibility and reckless driving at night
When drivers break the rules, innocent pedestrians suffer — and Florida law allows you to fight back.
Common Pedestrian Accident Injuries
Pedestrian injuries are often severe due to the lack of protection:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Broken bones
- Spinal cord injuries
- Internal bleeding
- Severe cuts and lacerations
- Permanent disability
Medical bills, rehabilitation, and emotional trauma can last a lifetime. You deserve full compensation, not just a quick insurance payout.
What To Do After a Pedestrian Accident
- Call 911 and request medical help.
- Get a police report — it’s critical for proving fault.
- Take photos if you are able (vehicle, scene, injuries).
- Get names and contact information of witnesses.
- Seek medical treatment immediately, even if you feel okay.
- Contact Davalos Legal to protect your rights.
Insurance companies will act fast to minimize their payouts — you need someone fighting for you from the start.
Who Pays for Pedestrian Accident Injuries in Florida?
Florida’s PIP (Personal Injury Protection) laws require that:
- Your own auto insurance (if you have it) may cover initial medical bills.
- If you don't have insurance, the driver’s insurance may cover you.
- If injuries are serious, you can pursue a personal injury lawsuit for full damages, including pain and suffering.
Attorney Jonny Davalos knows how to navigate Florida’s complex insurance system to maximize your recovery.
