Miami Pedestrian Accident Lawyers

We Provide Personalized Legal Strategies & Knowledgeable Legal Counsel

Currently, Florida is one of the most dangerous states for pedestrians in the United States. As Florida’s population rate continues to surge, there has been a consequential swell in pedestrian traffic, and, subsequently, an increase in pedestrian accidents. Unfortunately, the infrastructure of cities in the Miami-Dade County are designed to account for speeding drivers rather than pedestrians. These reckless and distracted drivers are responsible for nearly 5,000 pedestrian injuries each year.

It can be difficult to determine fault in a pedestrian accident case because liability is often shared between pedestrians and drivers. If you’ve been injured in a pedestrian accident, you’re going to need experienced legal representation if you want to maximize your claim. At Cardenas, Singer & Associates, our Miami pedestrian accident attorneys have over 49 years of combined experience and the legal acumen to develop personalized case strategies.

Steps to Take After Your Accident

As the victim of a pedestrian accident, there are important steps you must take to ensure the strength of your personal injury claim. If your injuries are too severe to take these necessary steps, then one of our Miami pedestrian accident attorneys can proactively compile the evidence and interview witnesses on your behalf.

Steps to take after a pedestrian accident:

1. Report your accident
2. Take pictures of the vehicle involved
3. Take pictures of your injuries
4. Obtain the names and phone numbers of witnesses
5. Seek medical care
6. Obtain copies of your medical records
7. Do not speak to rival insurance companies
8. Retain the services of a pedestrian accident lawyer

After your accident, it’s imperative that you direct any calls from the defendant’s insurance company to your lawyer. After all, it’s not uncommon for a rival insurance company to trick a plaintiff into sabotaging their case. Make certain to review any offers from the insurance company with your lawyer before accepting a settlement. In most circumstances, the settlement amount won’t cover the extent of your medical and financial needs.

At Cardenas, Singer & Associates, our attorneys can negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf and ensure you receive a fair compensation.

File Your Personal Injury Claim

The statute of limitations in Florida allows plaintiffs 4 years to file a personal injury claim. Because time is rarely a friend to memory—or justice—it’s important to retain the services of a reliable attorney as soon as possible. At Cardenas, Singer & Associates, we take pride in providing our clients with informed legal services and compassionate counsel. Our trial-tested Miami pedestrian accident lawyers can guide you in filing a claim and pursuing maximum compensation.
