It is crucial that you contact an experienced personal injury attorney promptly if involved in a pedestrian accident, as investigation into details needs to begin as soon as possible, to best support your case and protect your rights. Smith & Valentine Law has been a trusted partner in Cape Coral and Southwest Florida for over 25 years – successfully advocating for personal injury victims. Unfortunately, the disastrous combination of heavy traffic and numerous pedestrians in Florida is a recipe for catastrophic pedestrian accidents, and Florida’s percentage of these accidents is alarming.
Pedestrian accidents can happen for a variety of reasons. Driver inattention, faulty traffic lights – or lack of pedestrian crossing safety measures, a careless driver – such as one that does not make a complete stop, or a confused driver – all may create conditions for accidents. The warnings we receive from traffic authorities are no joke – such as not to text or use the phone while driving. Age can be a factor, as well as aggressiveness in driving and drunk driving.
