Recoverable Damages Under a No-Fault Policy
Suffering a pedestrian accident can be expensive. You are often left with expensive medical bills and you might be unable to work.

- Medical costs (past, present, and future)
- Prescription costs
- Lost wages
- Loss of employment benefits

Pure Comparative Negligence Laws
Because Florida is a pure comparative negligence state, it is important that we demonstrate the negligent activities of the other party. It is still possible to seek compensation if another party held most of the fault.
We will assist you in establishing fault by collecting crucial documents and, if necessary, recreating the scene of the accident.
We will also establish fault by collecting the following types of documents:
- Police reports
- Auto damage reports
- Witness statements
- Statements of the driver and pedestrian
- Medical records
- Photographs or video of the accident
Florida’s Statute of Limitations for Pedestrian Accidents
To protect your right to compensation, we must stay within Florida’s time limits for filing a pedestrian accident case. Florida law requires we file a pedestrian accident case within four years from the date of the accident.
