Our Attorneys Can Establish Liability for Your Hollywood Pedestrian Accident

Securing financial compensation requires showing that a driver’s negligent, wrongful, or reckless actions caused your injury. Our Hollywood pedestrian accident lawyers guide you through every stage of this process by:

Finding Proof That the Accident Driver Breached Their Duty of Care

When drivers fail to obey traffic laws or act in a reasonably safe manner, they breach their duty of care toward other road users. Our pedestrian accident attorneys in Hollywood, FL, can gather evidence showing that a driver broke the law or behaved dangerously or negligently. Case evidence may include:

• Police reports from the Hollywood Police Department
• Medical records from your doctor or any hospital you visited, such as Memorial Regional Hospital
• Surveillance or dashcam video
• Photographs of your injuries and the site of your accident
• Eyewitness accounts

Establishing the Cause of Your Pedestrian Crash

Using our legal experience and knowledge of the law, Chalik & Chalik Injury Lawyers can draw a direct connection between a driver’s wrongful behavior and your accident.

For example, if your accident involved a drunk driver, we can request copies of police reports stating that their blood alcohol concentration (BAC) was above the legal limit. We can show this led to a failure to react to a red light, which caused them to enter an intersection and hit you while you were crossing.

Listing Your Pedestrian Accident Damages

We can work to prove that your accident led to financial damages and pain and suffering. Our lawyers can collect your bills, receipts, wage records, and other documents outlining your out-of-pocket losses. We can also hire medical professionals, vocational experts, and economists to explain more about your losses.

This allows our Hollywood accident lawyers to be absolutely sure that we are seeking fair compensation for your family.

Filing Your Pedestrian Crash Case Before Time Expires

You want to ensure you have time to work through your insurance claims and take legal action if necessary. According to Florida Statutes § 95.11, you have up to two years from your accident to file a personal injury case. In addition, the state allows up to two years from your loved one’s passing to sue for wrongful death.

We can help you file your case and attempt to negotiate before time runs out. Our personal injury attorneys can even take your case to court if needed.

Taking Hollywood Cases on Contingency

We understand that you may be facing expensive medical bills, time lost at work, and other financial stressors. We do not want our services to add to this burden, so we do not charge upfront fees.

Instead, our payment comes from an agreed-upon percentage of your settlement or verdict. If we do not win your case, you owe us nothing. Call Chalik & Chalik Injury Lawyers today to find out more.

Common Causes of Hollywood Pedestrian Collisions

In order to get the financial compensation you deserve, our personal injury lawyers first need to identify who is liable in your pedestrian accident. In all too many cases, this party is a negligent driver.

Drivers owe it to pedestrians and others on the road to be careful, drive safely, and obey traffic laws. The Official Florida Driver License Handbook identifies specific rules designed to keep pedestrians safe. Page 88 says that drivers must:

• Stop for pedestrians at marked crossings, intersections, and driveways
• Not pass another vehicle that is stopped at a crosswalk to allow a pedestrian to cross
• Never block a crosswalk when stopped at a red light
• Stop and look in both directions before making a right turn on red
• Exercise care around children and disabled or visually impaired pedestrians

Other Possible Liable Parties You Could Sue After a Pedestrian Crash

In some cases, the driver is only partly to blame or is not liable at all. This may happen if a car part malfunctioned or if the Hollywood Public Works Department failed to address a dangerous road hazard.

No matter who is liable in your case, Chalik & Chalik Injury Lawyers can work hard to build a case against them and seek maximum compensation from their insurance company.
