What To Do When Involved In A Pedestrian Accident In The State Of Florida

Florida is an outdoor state. Sure, all states are "outdoors" but Floridians are able to spend time outdoors year-round. With that comes a high volume of pedestrian traffic. Shirtless surfers, joggers, speed-walkers, dog walkers, etc. Sometimes it's just an after dinner stroll around the block. Unfortunately, disaster doesn't discriminate whether you were jay-walking or using a cross-walk.

If you or someone you know has been injured or killed in a pedestrian versus automobile accident you may be entitled to compensation. Fast-moving, heavy motor vehicles create obvious dangers for pedestrians, and one of the most serious responsibilities imposed on drivers is that they must keep their eyes on the road and take all possible steps to avoid hitting anyone who is on foot.

Clearly, if you were hit while crossing at a crosswalk on a green light, the driver will generally be held responsible. But even if you were not following the rules for pedestrians, you may be entitled to compensation, depending on the specific circumstances of the accident.

Jaywalking may be technically against the law, but that does not give drivers free rein to cause accidents anytime a pedestrian steps off the curb and into the road. Drivers must use good judgment and make reasonable efforts to avoid causing pedestrian accidents.
