Florida Pedestrian Accident Lawyers
When a Pedestrian Accident Changes Everything, You Need a Firm Built for Complex Litigation
When you walk in your community, you expect drivers to remain alert and follow the rules of the road. Unfortunately, negligent or distracted driving can lead to serious pedestrian accidents with devastating consequences. At Silva & Silva, our experienced attorneys are committed to holding at-fault parties accountable and securing justice for injured pedestrians.
When a Simple Walk Turns
Into a Serious Injury
Pedestrians have no protection against vehicles. When a driver fails to pay attention, the consequences can be severe or even fatal.
If you or a loved one has been hit by a car, truck, or other vehicle, you may be facing serious injuries, mounting medical bills, and uncertainty about what comes next.
At Silva & Silva, we represent injured pedestrians and families across Florida, helping them understand their rights and pursue full compensation.
Why Pedestrian Accident Cases Are Different
Pedestrian accidents often involve:
- Severe or catastrophic injuries
- Disputed liability
- Drivers claiming the pedestrian was at fault
- Complex insurance issues
Even when the facts seem clear, insurance companies may try to reduce or deny responsibility. We work to ensure the full story is told.
Do You Have a Case?
You may have a pedestrian accident case if the incident involved:
- A driver failing to yield at a crosswalk
- Distracted or impaired driving
- Speeding or reckless driving
- A vehicle running a red light or stop sign
- Poor visibility or unsafe road conditions
Even if you’re unsure what caused the accident, it’s important to understand your options.
How Silva & Silva Can Help
We handle every aspect of your case, including investigating the accident; gathering evidence and expert analysis; dealing with insurance companies; and, preparing your case for trial, if necessary
Our goal is to take the burden off you while building the strongest possible case.
Common Pedestrian Accident Injuries
Because pedestrians lack protection, injuries are often serious, including:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones and fractures
- Internal injuries
- Severe soft tissue damage
These injuries can require long-term care and significantly impact daily life.
What Your Case May Be Worth
Compensation in a pedestrian accident case may include:
- Medical expenses (current and future)
- Lost wages and reduced earning ability
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Rehabilitation and long-term care
We focus on the full impact of the injury—not just immediate costs.
What To Do After a Pedestrian Accident
If you or a loved one has been hit by a vehicle:
- Seek medical attention immediately
- Document the scene if possible
- Obtain witness information
- Avoid giving statements to insurance companies without guidance
- Speak with an attorney before accepting any settlement
Early steps can have a significant impact on your case.
