Types Of Pedestrian Accidents We Handle

• Distracted driving
• Reckless or aggressive driving
• Driving under the influence
• Lack of maintenance of city sidewalks or roads
• Failure to follow road signs and local laws

Most situations that cause a pedestrian accident involve negligence. For example:

Fortunately, under Florida’s pure comparative negligence doctrine, we can still seek compensation as long as another party was primarily to blame for the accident.
