Pedestrian Accident Attorneys
When pedestrians are in the crosswalk, they have the right of way. It is that simple. However, just because they have the right of way doesn’t mean that cars don’t test that right often. When you’re injured as a pedestrian, you deserve the help of an aggressive, thorough pedestrian accident attorney.
At , we are pedestrian accident attorneys who take on cases for people across Tampa, Clearwater and St. Petersburg. These are extremely walkable cities designed around foot traffic. However, cars and irresponsible drivers remain a constant risk for walkers.
Who Is At Fault For A Pedestrian Accident?
Faults in pedestrian accidents should be clear-cut, but they simply aren’t. There are many factors that complicate matters, such as:
- Right of way: Florida’s law is clear that pedestrians have the right of way in a crosswalk, and when traffic signals indicate it, but outside of those situations things are different. Cars are supposed to make every effort to avoid hitting pedestrians, but there are many scenarios where a pedestrian may be at fault.
- Sidewalk ownership: If your accident is due to a slip or trip and a fall on the sidewalk, then you may have to pursue compensation from the owner of the sidewalk or even the city if the fall is due to injuries.
Our attorneys will investigate your accident in all areas, including looking at any available video of your accident, the state of the sidewalk in trips and falls, and speaking to witnesses. We’ll be persistent and strategic about the work we do while gathering evidence and building your case.
