Get Experienced Legal Assistance On Your Side After a Pedestrian Accident

Why You Need a Tampa Pedestrian Accident Lawyer From KFB Law

Causes of Pedestrian Accidents in Tampa

Pedestrian accidents happen more often than you think. Many factors can contribute to a car accident involving someone on foot, including:
Distracted driving (e.g., texting while driving)
Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
Speeding in residential areas
Failure to stop at crosswalks or red lights
Negligent driving in school zones or near bus stops
Poorly designed intersections or lack of pedestrian signage
Blowing through or a “rolling” stop at a stop sign
When drivers fail to yield, or pedestrians cross streets unsafely, accidents occur that could have otherwise been avoided.

It’s more than unfair to the injured victim to know that their severe pedestrian injuries from gross negligence in a car accident didn’t have to happen–it’s heartbreaking.

KFB Law is on your side and will fight to get you the maximum compensation you deserve, as well as any advocate for punitive damages for extenuating injuries that affect your quality of life.

Common Pedestrian Accident Injuries

Pedestrian accidents happen more often than you think. Many The injuries sustained from pedestrian accidents are often life-threatening or permanently disabling. Some of the most common injuries from a pedestrian crash include:
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
Spinal cord injuries (paraplegia or quadriplegia)
Broken bones, especially in the legs, arms, and ribs
Severe lacerations or disfigurements
Internal injuries and organ damage
Long-term disabilities or death
Because pedestrians are more vulnerable than drivers, even a low-speed collision can result in serious injury, catastrophic injuries, or—worse—wrongful death. The lack of protection makes pedestrians much more susceptible to severe harm.

What Does Florida Law Say About Traffic Safety?

Both pedestrians and drivers of a motor vehicle need to follow traffic laws to minimize the risk of accidents. Both parties must cooperate with the police as well and provide truthful answers for any accident report. Drivers of motor vehicles must:
Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
Speeding in residential areas
Failure to stop at crosswalks or red lights
Negligent driving in school zones or near bus stops
Poorly designed intersections or lack of pedestrian signage
Blowing through or a “rolling” stop at a stop sign
When drivers fail to yield, or pedestrians cross streets unsafely, accidents occur that could have otherwise been avoided.

It’s more than unfair to the injured victim to know that their severe pedestrian injuries from gross negligence in a car accident didn’t have to happen–it’s heartbreaking.

KFB Law is on your side and will fight to get you the maximum compensation you deserve, as well as any advocate for punitive damages for extenuating injuries that affect your quality of life.

Florida pedestrian laws also apply to those on foot as well. These include:

Avoid walking directly in the path of an oncoming car if it would create an unreasonable safety hazard
Allow cars to pass first in an unmarked crosswalk or when walking outside of the markings of a marked crosswalk
Refrain from crossing a street diagonally at a controlled intersection unless the traffic control device explicitly allows
Avoid crossing more than two adjoining intersections when using a marked crosswalk
Walk facing oncoming traffic on the left side of the street if it does not contain any sidewalks

When a driver strikes a pedestrian, they must stop the car immediately and render aid, or it becomes a serious hit-and-run crime.

Steps to Take After a Pedestrian Accident

After a pedestrian accident, it is crucial to seek medical attention immediately (even if you feel fine), contact the police, and collect evidence with photos of the accident scene, the vehicle involved, and your injuries. Obtain contact information from witnesses who saw the accident.

Florida’s No-Fault Insurance and Filing a Pedestrian Accident Claim

Florida law requires drivers to have a minimum of $10,000 in Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage, also known as no-fault insurance. This type of insurance allows injured pedestrians to file a claim with their own insurance company, regardless of who was at fault.

However, the compensation from PIP may not cover all your damages, especially in cases of severe injury. If your injuries are serious enough, you may have the right to file a personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault driver to recover additional compensation.
