Pedestrian Accident Attorney

Helping Injured Pedestrians in Hollywood, Miami, Fort Lauderdale & Surrounding Areas

If you or a loved one has been hit by a car while walking, you’re not alone—and you have rights. As a pedestrian accident attorney based in Hollywood, Florida, I’ve spent over 35 years helping injured individuals throughout Broward County, Miami-Dade County, and Palm Beach County receive fair compensation for injuries caused by negligent drivers.

Being struck by a vehicle can change your life in an instant. As a pedestrian, you are especially vulnerable to severe injuries like broken bones, head trauma, spinal cord damage, and emotional distress. I understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll these accidents take—and I’m here to help you move forward with confidence.

Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents

Many of the pedestrian accident cases I handle are the result of a driver’s carelessness or failure to follow the law. Common causes include:

• 🚦 Distracted or texting while driving
• 🚗 Speeding or running red lights
• 🚷 Failing to yield at crosswalks
• 🌙 Driving under the influence
• 🛑 Illegal turns or failing to stop at stop signs
• 🚸 Poor visibility or lack of signage near schools and residential areas

If you were injured due to one of these—or any other negligent action—you may be entitled to compensation.

What to Do After a Pedestrian Accident

If you’ve been injured while walking in Hollywood, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, or nearby cities, here are a few steps to protect your rights:

1. Seek medical attention immediately, even if injuries seem minor.
2. Document the scene, take photos, and get witness contact info if possible.
3. Avoid speaking to insurance companies without legal representation.
4. Contact a qualified pedestrian accident lawyer who knows Florida law.

As your attorney, I’ll work directly with you to build a strong case, protect your rights, and guide you through the legal process with care and clarity.
