Pedestrian Accident Attorneys
Hit Crossing the Street? We Fight for Your Right of Way.
In a collision between a car and a person, the person always loses. We make sure you don’t lose the legal battle, too.
Hallandale Beach has a deadly combination: aggressive commuters rushing to I-95 and relaxed tourists crossing A1A to get to the beach. Add in our large population of seniors (“snowbirds”) who may need extra time to cross wide boulevards, and you have a recipe for tragedy.
When a pedestrian is hit, the injuries are often catastrophic—broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, or spinal damage. Meanwhile, the driver’s insurance company often tries to blame the victim for “not looking” or “jaywalking.” We don’t let them get away with that.
The Danger: Tourists crossing from condos (like The Hemispheres) to the beach often misjudge the speed of traffic. Drivers looking for parking spots often fail to see people in crosswalks.
The Danger: This road is wide and fast. Pedestrians often get stuck on the median when the light changes, leaving them trapped between speeding cars.
The Danger: Diplomat Mall and other plazas are hotspots for low-speed but high-injury accidents. Drivers backing out or texting while driving often hit seniors walking to their cars.
If you were hit while crossing outside of a marked crosswalk, the insurance company will likely deny your claim, saying you were “Jaywalking.”
Do not accept this denial. Florida follows a “Comparative Negligence” standard. This means that even if you were partially at fault for crossing early, the driver still had a duty to avoid hitting you.
Our Strategy: We immediately canvas the area for surveillance cameras (condos, hotels, ATMs) that may have captured the impact. This footage is the key to proving the driver was negligent.
Don’t let the insurance company blame you for getting hurt. Call us now.
