Common Injuries in Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrians don’t have the protection of a vehicle. That means even low-speed collisions can result in severe injuries. We represent victims suffering from:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries or paralysis
- Broken bones and complex fractures
- Internal organ damage
- Lacerations and disfigurement
- Permanent disability or mobility loss
- Emotional distress and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
We understand the medical and financial impact of these injuries, and we work to recover full compensation for both your immediate needs and long-term care.
How Pedestrian Accident Cases Work in Florida
Florida law requires drivers to exercise caution around pedestrians, especially in marked crosswalks and school zones. But despite clear laws, many pedestrian accidents happen because drivers:
- Fail to slow down when turning
- Don’t see people in crosswalks
- Ignore stop signs or traffic lights
- Are distracted by phones or GPS
- Speed through residential or shared-use areas
To bring a successful claim, we need to show that the driver was negligent, and that their actions directly caused your injuries. Our legal team will investigate the crash, collect witness statements, review traffic footage (if available), and work with experts to build a strong case.
Even if you were partially at fault, like jaywalking or crossing mid-block, you may still be entitled to compensation. Florida’s comparative negligence rules allow injured pedestrians to recover damages as long as they were less than 50% responsible.
Hit by a Car While Walking in West Palm Beach? Here’s What to Do
If you’ve been involved in a pedestrian accident:
- Call 911 and report the incident to the West Palm Beach Police Department.
- Get medical attention, even if your injuries seem minor. Internal injuries and concussions aren’t always immediately obvious.
- Document everything. If you’re able, take photos of the scene, vehicle, injuries, and surroundings.
- Don’t speak to the driver’s insurance company before speaking to a lawyer.
- Contact a pedestrian accident lawyer as soon as possible.

You may be entitled to compensation for:
- Emergency medical care and hospital bills
- Ongoing treatment or physical therapy
- Lost wages or reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Scarring or disfigurement
- Disability accommodations (wheelchairs, ramps, etc.)
- Future care or home modifications
