Miami Pedestrian Accident Attorney

Walking should be safe. In busy Miami streets, it often is not. According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, there are on average more than ten thousand auto accidents involving pedestrians each year in Florida. When a reckless driver, bad intersection design, or a hit-and-run leaves you injured as a pedestrian, you are up against more than just medical bills. You are facing physical recovery, lost income, disrupted life, and the question who will be accountable. You need a Miami pedestrian accident attorney.

What Makes Pedestrian Crashes Unique

Unlike drivers or passengers of a motor vehicle, pedestrians have no protection, no metal frame, no seat belt. When a vehicle hits a person, the consequences can be devastating. When you are injured as a pedestrian your case is not the same as a car accident. The investigation must examine driver distraction, visibility, crosswalk/dash-cam footage, and pedestrian right-of-way issues. We know what to look for and have helped countless pedestrian accident victims recover maximum compensation for their injuries.

Typical Scenarios Our Team Handles

We frequently represent pedestrians who were injured because:

A vehicle turned in front of a walker in a crosswalk
A driver failed to yield to someone in a marked pedestrian zone
A hit-and-run driver struck a walker and fled the scene
A ride share or delivery vehicle collided with a pedestrian in Miami’s densely populated neighborhoods

Each scenario demands targeted legal action, including evidence collection, witness statements, tracking down drivers in hit-and-run cases, and coordinating with your medical providers.

Recoverable Damages and Your Rights

If you were injured as a pedestrian, you may be entitled to recover:

Hospital and rehabilitation costs (past & future)
Lost wages, diminished earning capacity
Pain, suffering, emotional trauma, loss of life quality
Property damage (phone, clothing, walker, mobility aids)
Wrongful death damages (if a loved one was fatally injured while walking)

We fight insurance companies and negligent parties so your recovery truly reflects all the ways your life has been impacted.

Steps to Take After Being Struck Before Hiring a Miami Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

Protecting your rights begins right away. After a pedestrian collision:

Call 911 and insist on a police report — your role as a pedestrian must be documented.
Go to the hospital even if you feel fine — things like head trauma or internal injuries often show later.
Photograph the crash scene: car positions, road signs, visibility, your injuries, your clothing, the surrounding area.
Get witness names and contact info — someone walking by may have seen the crash.
Preserve any evidence: your shoes, clothing, and the phone you were carrying.
Do not give a recorded statement to the driver’s insurance without legal advice.
Contact a Miami pedestrian accident attorney right away — time is of the essence for collecting evidence and reviewing hit-and-run cases.
