Pedestrian Accidents

Given the high traffic and heavy tourism, pedestrian accidents are an unfortunate reality in the Bradenton-Sarasota area.

If you’ve been hit by a moving vehicle while walking, the resulting process can be complicated; but there’s no need to handle it alone. The personal injury attorneys at Flynn Law are experienced in handling pedestrian accidents and can help you get the compensation you deserve.

After all, you should be able to focus on yourself and recover from your injuries without the added stress of insurance negotiations and lawsuits.

Have you recently been involved in a pedestrian accident? Here’s what you need to know.

Under Florida statute 627.7407 (the ‘No-Fault’ law) any individual operating a motor vehicle is required to purchase a $10,000 personal injury protection insurance policy (PIP).

When a pedestrian is hit by someone’s vehicle, the driver’s PIP policy will go in to affect to help cover the medical expenses of the injured party.

Sadly, however, the $10,000 included in this policy is rarely enough to cover all the pedestrian’s bills. When that’s the case, if they are insured, they have the right to request coverage from their own PIP policy.

When this is still not enough, however, a skilled Bradenton-Sarasota area personal injury attorney can help you try to settle for increased compensation.

When a driver is at fault in a pedestrian accident, the personal injury attorneys at Flynn Law of Bradenton can help protect your rights and obtain the appropriate financial compensation.

When a driver is traveling at high speeds and hits a walking pedestrian, the sustained injuries can be detrimental, and possibly life-threatening. Many of these will have long-term effects on the individual’s quality of life.

If a driver in Florida has hit you, here are some of the financial and personal costs you might be eligible to receive:

• Medical Bills
• Lost Wages
• Counseling Fees

While you might be able to handle the necessary paperwork involved in a pedestrian accident, most men and women don’t understand how much compensation may be available to them for their struggles.
