Why You Need a Tampa Pedestrian Accident Lawyer
If you’ve been involved in an accident as a pedestrian, you may be dealing with painful injuries, mounting medical bills, and lost wages due to your inability to work.

Sometimes, internal injuries may not show up immediately, making it critical to seek medical attention and consult a lawyer as soon as possible.
Our Tampa pedestrian accident attorneys can guide you through the legal process and seek compensation for your damages to bring justice.

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.

Prioritize Safety and Document the Scene
Before anything else, check yourself and others for injuries and call 911. Even if injuries seem minor, getting a police report on file is critical, as it creates an official record of the accident.
While at the scene, photograph the damage to all vehicles, capture the rental agreement and license plates, and collect contact and insurance information from the other driver. If there are witnesses, get their names and phone numbers. The more documentation you have early on, the stronger your position later.

Consult a Car Accident Lawyer from KFB Law Before Talking to Insurers
Before giving recorded statements or accepting any settlement offer, speak with a personal injury attorney. Insurance companies move quickly to limit payouts, and what you say early in the process can affect your claim. At KFB Law, our attorneys handle investigations, insurance negotiations, and court representation, if needed.

Contact Your Insurance
You should also contact your insurance provider to understand your coverage. Florida law requires drivers to carry a minimum of $10,000 in Personal Injury Protection (PIP), which covers medical expenses regardless of fault. However, PIP often falls short in serious injury cases, and you may have grounds to pursue additional compensation from the at-fault driver.
