Fort Lauderdale Pedestrian Accident Attorney

When a motorist strikes a pedestrian, the force and impact of the collision is likely to cause serious injury or death. This can leave an accident victim coping with life-changing injuries and high medical expenses, and can leave grieving family members concerned about their financial future. The laws in Florida work to protect pedestrian accident victims and their loved ones who are left behind in the event of death. However, it is up to victims to pursue a damage claim in order to obtain compensation available under Florida law. An experienced Fort Lauderdale pedestrian accident attorney at Steinger, Greene & Feiner can help you if you or a loved one has been hurt.

Your Rights After a Fort Lauderdale Pedestrian Accident

Pedestrians who sustain serious injuries or family members who lose loved ones are entitled to be “made whole” when a motorist causes a pedestrian accident. Essentially, this means that the driver responsible for the crash must put the victim back into the same position he or she would have been in if the crash had never happened. While it is easy for a driver to compensate injured pedestrian accident victims for the financial losses caused by the wreck, such as lost wages and medical bills, it is much more challenging for a motorist to compensate victims for intangible non-economic losses such as pain and suffering, emotional distress or the loss of a loved one. Still, despite the difficulties in figuring out how much pain and suffering or lost companionship is worth, accident victims are still entitled to be paid for these significant losses. An experienced Fort Lauderdale pedestrian accident attorney can help victims determine how much their case is worth and can represent victims in recovering full and fair compensation.

How to Recover Compensation

Injured pedestrian accident victims or their family members can recover monetary damages for all losses using one of two different methods:

• An out-of-court settlement can be reached if the driver’s insurance company accepts that the driver is to blame and makes a fair settlement offer.
• The case can go to trial, the injured victim can prove that the motorist was to blame, and a judge or a jury will make a decision on how much money the victim is entitled to receive.

Whether your case settles or is pursued in a court of law, it is important you have a knowledgeable legal advocate on your side. Our Fort Lauderdale pedestrian accident lawyers have been representing car wreck victims and others who suffer personal injury since 1997. We can put our legal experience and knowledge to work to negotiate with the insurer on your behalf, help you build a strong case and reasonably navigate the court system.
