Florida Laws on Pedestrian Accidents
Florida laws aim to protect those who are involved in accidents to ensure that they don’t face financial ruin. As such, if a pedestrian is struck and injured or killed by a driver, the motorist who was responsible for the crash is also responsible for paying the costs and losses that result from the accident. Drivers purchase liability insurance to cover just such a tragic situation. The insurance company for the responsible driver will compensate the pedestrian who was hurt or will pay monetary damages to surviving family members in the event that a pedestrian is killed in an accident. The compensation the insurance company will pay the injured victim should cover all losses sustained as a direct result of the crash. This can include:
- Medical bills and costs arising from the injury
- Lost income/wages if the injury causes the victim to miss work or to be unable to hold a job
- Pain and suffering damages for the physical harm caused by the accident
- Emotional distress if the accident causes ptsd or other mental harm
- Wrongful death if the accident is a fatal
Injured pedestrians should pursue a claim against the driver who was responsible for the crash in order to ensure that the insurance company provides coverage for these economic and non-economic losses.

How to Obtain Pedestrian Accident Compensation
Injured pedestrian accident victims or their surviving family members can pursue a claim for compensation by filing a personal injury or a wrongful death case. With the help of a Miami pedestrian accident lawyer, the injured victim will need to convince a judge or jury that the driver was negligent and that the pedestrian is entitled to monetary compensation for damages. In many situations, however, cases settle before going to court. If the insurance company offers a reasonable payout for losses, you can accept this payment in exchange for giving up the right to sue. A Miami pedestrian accident attorney can help to negotiate a settlement and can advise you on whether a proposed settlement offer is fair.
