Hit While Walking or Biking? We’ll Fight for You—And Charge Less.
Pedestrians and bicyclists are among the most vulnerable people on Florida roads. When a driver fails to yield, speeds through a crosswalk, or simply isn’t paying attention, the results can be catastrophic.

Common Causes of Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents in Florida
Florida has some of the highest pedestrian and cyclist fatality rates in the country. Many of these crashes are preventable. Common causes include:
- Drivers failing to yield at crosswalks
- Speeding in residential or school zones
- Distracted or texting while driving
- Drunk or impaired driving
- Unsafe passing or dooring
- Running red lights or stop signs
- Failure to use turn signals
We thoroughly investigate each crash to identify liability and pursue every available source of compensation.
Common Injuries from Pedestrian & Bicycle Accidents
Pedestrians and cyclists have no protection in a collision with a vehicle. That means injuries are often serious or permanent. We help clients recover from:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) and concussions
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Broken bones and fractures
- Internal injuries and organ damage
- Road rash, scarring, or disfigurement
- Pelvic or shoulder injuries
- Chronic pain or long-term disability
We work closely with your medical providers to document your injuries and establish the full value of your case.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
Depending on your injuries and the facts of the case, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical bills (current and future)
- Lost income and loss of earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish or emotional distress
- Disfigurement or permanent impairment
- Property damage (bicycle, gear, etc.)
- Loss of enjoyment of life
And thanks to our lower attorney fee structure, more of the settlement ends up with you, not your lawyer.
What to Do After a Pedestrian or Bicycle Accident in Florida
Here’s what you should do if you or a loved one has been hit by a vehicle:
- Call 911 and request emergency services.
- Get medical attention immediately—even if you don’t feel hurt at first.
- Do not admit fault or discuss the details with the driver’s insurer.
- Collect evidence: take photos of the scene, your injuries, and any property damage.
- Contact an experienced attorney to protect your rights and deal with the insurance companies.
The sooner we’re involved, the faster we can begin preserving evidence and building your claim.
Florida Laws That Affect Pedestrian and Bicycle Injury Claims
PIP Coverage for Pedestrians
If you’re a Florida resident hit by a vehicle while walking or biking, your own PIP (Personal Injury Protection) may apply—even if you weren’t driving. If you don’t have PIP, the at-fault driver’s coverage may apply.
Comparative Fault
Florida follows a modified comparative negligence rule. If you are found to be partially at fault (e.g., crossing outside of a marked crosswalk), your compensation could be reduced. If you’re found more than 50% at fault, you may not recover at all.
We’ll fight to ensure fault is assigned fairly—and that your claim isn’t wrongfully denied or undervalued.
Statute of Limitations
You generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit in Florida. Waiting too long could prevent you from recovering any compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions
You may still have a claim. Florida drivers must operate with reasonable care and avoid hitting pedestrians—even outside of a marked crosswalk. We can evaluate the facts and fight for compensation.
Yes, but Florida law requires bikes to have lights and reflectors after dark. If you were not properly equipped, the insurance company may try to argue fault—but that doesn’t necessarily bar recovery.
A police report can help strengthen your case, but it’s not strictly required. If you didn’t get one, contact us as soon as possible—we may still be able to build a strong claim.
