MIAMI PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT LAWYER
If you were injured as a pedestrian, you need to protect your rights as much as possible.
Whether crossing the street or walking on the sidewalk, pedestrians have different rights and responsibilities when navigating the streets.
Pedestrians in a crosswalk have the right of way and motorists must stop for them whenever they are in the roadway, not just at crosswalks. Pedestrians should use extreme caution when crossing the street as motorists may not see them. Sidewalk pedestrians may walk on any sidewalk without blocking traffic or impeding other pedestrians. They should be aware of their surroundings and yield traffic if necessary.
When a pedestrian is involved in an accident with a car, the results can be catastrophic. After a car accident, you or a loved one may be unsure about what to do next.
After an Accident
• Even if you don’t think your injuries are severe, you should see a doctor as soon as possible.
• Record and collect information about your accident. This should include the date, time and location of the accident, road and traffic conditions, photographs, witness information, your medical files, and the police report.
Florida law requires pedestrians to yield the right-of-way to vehicles in most circumstances. However, there are situations where the driver may be at fault, such as if they were speeding or running a red light. If you believe the driver was at fault in the accident, an experienced attorney can help you prove it and receive compensation for your injuries.
