Florida Pedestrian Accident Lawyers For Serious Injuries

Justice For Injured Pedestrians

Protecting People, Not Just Cases

If you need a pedestrian accident lawyer in Florida, Wooster Law builds claims for those struck in crosswalks, parking lots, sidewalks, and school zones. South Florida sees heavy foot traffic near Las Olas, Mizner Park, and the beachfront, and pedestrians have no protection against speeding or distracted drivers. We step in quickly to document fault and pursue compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Common Scenarios Of Pedestrian Accidents

Where Drivers Make Dangerous Mistakes

Crosswalk Incidents


Drivers fail to yield at marked crosswalks or roll through right turns on red. Video and intersection timing often prove fault. We secure it early.

Parking Lot Backups


Backing vehicles in shopping centers and garages create blind spots. We document angles, lighting, and surveillance to establish negligence.

School Zones and Residential Areas


Speeding near schools and neighborhoods puts walkers at risk. We use witness statements and speed data when available.

DUI or Distracted Driving

Hit-and-Run Crashes

Pedestrian Right-of-Way and Florida Law

Fault Is Not Always Simple

Florida law requires drivers to yield at marked crosswalks and to exercise due care. Even outside a crosswalk, a speeding or distracted driver can still be responsible under comparative negligence rules. Do not assume you have no case if you were not in the crosswalk.


Severe Injuries and Compensation

From Fractures To Brain Injuries

Pedestrian impacts often cause broken legs, pelvic fractures, spinal trauma, and head injuries that require extended recovery. We calculate lifelong costs, from surgeries and rehab to lost earning capacity and home modifications. If a loved one was killed, we guide families through the wrongful death process with care.

What To Do If You Are Hit By A Car

Steps That Protect Your Claim

Call 911 and request a report. Get the driver's information and look for witnesses or cameras at nearby businesses. Seek immediate medical care, then contact Wooster Law so evidence preservation and insurance notices go out without delay.

Pedestrian Accident Questions Answered

Straight Talk For Walkers

  • I was jaywalking. Can I still sue?

    Possibly, yes. Florida’s comparative fault rules allow recovery even if you share some responsibility, though your award may be reduced. We examine factors like speed, visibility, and driver behavior to establish liability.

  • The driver fled the scene. What now?

    Report the hit-and-run immediately. If the driver is not found, your uninsured motorist (UM) coverage can step in—even if you were a pedestrian. We coordinate with law enforcement and your insurer to keep the claim moving.

  • Does auto insurance cover pedestrian injuries?

    The at-fault driver’s liability coverage should pay for your injuries. We pursue their insurer for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. If they are underinsured, we look to your UM coverage to bridge the gap.

  • What if a city bus or government vehicle hit me?

    Government claims have special notice requirements and shorter timelines. There may also be damage caps and procedural hurdles. Contact an attorney quickly so deadlines are met and evidence is preserved.
