Pedestrian Accidents Lawyer
A pedestrian accident could be one of the most catastrophic types of personal injury accidents. This risk is because a pedestrian does not have any protections such as a seat belt, airbag, or a helmet to protect him or her from an auto accident. Because of these factors, the common injuries after a pedestrian accident are devastating and life-changing, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and amputations. Most people hit by a car also do not know where to start the insurance claim process, particularly if they have been seriously injured.

How Can Our Attorney Help You?
Pedestrian knockdown cases are not like normal auto accident cases. Injuries are more severe, and liability can be more challenging, especially if you were not in the crosswalk. Unfortunately, insurance companies know this and will try to blame you for causing the accident and your injuries. Do not let this happen. If you were hit by a car, you may have rights under the law by filing a claim under your no-fault insurance carrier.
Here at Schlacter Law, our trained legal team helps victims injured in a pedestrian accident through this claims process. We will negotiate with the at-fault driver’s insurance carrier to obtain the compensation you need for your pain and suffering, medical bills, and lost wages. If negotiations are unsuccessful, we may pursue your remedies in court, including going to trial to prove your case.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a pedestrian accident claim?
Four years from the date of injury under Florida law. While this sounds like a long time, if you were catastrophically injured you may not be able to return to work for longer than four years. If you try to file a claim outside of the four-year time limit, your claim may be automatically dismissed. This is why it is crucial to always hire a pedestrian accident lawyer, especially if you have been seriously injured.

How much does a pedestrian accident lawyer cost?
A pedestrian accident lawyer will typically take a contingency fee. This is a fee that is based on a percentage of what a victim receives as compensation. Most firms charge between 33.33% and 40%. Our pedestrian accident lawyer usually charges 33.33% before litigation and you will only pay this percentage once we recover money for you.
