Miami Pedestrian Accident Lawyers

Trusted Legal Counsel for Clients Across South Florida

Pedestrian accidents remain a significant concern both nationally and in Florida. With its year-round warm weather, walking in public areas is common for Floridians of all ages. Unfortunately, pedestrians are at the highest risk of serious injury in accidents due to their complete lack of bodily protection. 

According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), 7,522 pedestrians died in U.S. traffic crashes in 2022, accounting for 18 percent of all traffic fatalities. Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles reported over 10,000 pedestrian accidents in 2022, which resulted in 765 deaths. 

Altumint, a leader in traffic safety technology, ranked Miami third in the country in pedestrian traffic fatalities in its Road Safety Report.  

These statistics underscore the prevalence of pedestrian accident injuries in our region and the need for experienced legal representation in personal injury and wrongful death claims. 

If you or a loved one has been injured in a negligence-based pedestrian accident, Raposo & Lukacs can put proven legal proficiency and personalized support on your side in pursuing full compensation for damages.

The High Risk of Being a Pedestrian in Miami

Unlike car drivers and their passengers, pedestrians have no barriers or safety equipment to protect them from the sheer impact of a collision. Even at relatively low speeds, a vehicle striking a pedestrian can cause severe trauma due to the disparity in size, weight, and force. 

Urban areas like Miami often see high pedestrian traffic, increasing exposure to these dangers. Our bustling streets and intersections contribute to collisions. Additionally, unpredictable driver behavior, such as driving while texting, drunk driving, and disobeying traffic laws, compound the risks for pedestrians. Failure to yield at crosswalks is a common cause of pedestrian injuries.

As a result, these injuries are often catastrophic.

Pedestrian injuries can include:

The Importance of Legal Representation for Miami Pedestrians

Legal representation for your personal injury claim in the wake of a pedestrian accident is not just helpful but essential. Complex traffic laws, resistant insurance companies, and the claim process can all be overwhelming, especially when you are in the midst of physical recovery. 

For example, Florida's comparative negligence rule may allow multiple parties to share responsibility for an accident. Without legal guidance, you might unfairly shoulder a portion of the blame.

No one should have to battle an insurance company while recovering from a traumatic accident, but unfortunately, it is often part of the process. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts and offer settlements that are far short of covering your losses. Worse, they may attempt to use anything you say against you to reduce or deny your claim.

Our experienced attorneys can act as advocates, handling all factors related to your accident and injuries. We can cut through the red tape and stand firm against lowball offers or other tactics to disadvantage you.
