Pedestrian Accident

A human body is no match for a car, truck, SUV, or rideshare vehicle. In Florida and Texas, pedestrian injuries are rising every year — and insurance companies still try to blame the victim.

Finman Law Group steps in immediately to protect your rights, secure medical treatment, and fight for the full compensation you deserve. Drivers have insurance companies protecting them. Pedestrians need a law firm that knows how to beat them.

Why Pedestrian Accident Claims Are So Difficult

Insurance companies use predictable tactics to avoid paying:

• “The pedestrian wasn’t in the crosswalk.”
• “The pedestrian came out of nowhere.”
• “The pedestrian wasn’t paying attention.”
• “The driver had the right of way.”
• “The injuries aren’t that serious.”

We shut these arguments down with evidence, investigation, and aggressive legal strategy.

Florida and Texas both have laws that insurers exploit:

Florida

• Drivers must yield to pedestrians in crosswalks
• Drivers must use due care at all times
• Many crashes involve speeding, distraction, or aggressive driving

Texas

• Pedestrians have the right of way in marked and unmarked crosswalks
• Drivers must stop for pedestrians when turning
• Insurers try to use “comparative negligence” to reduce payouts

Finman Law Group knows how to fight these tactics in both states.

Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents

1. Distracted Driving

Phones, GPS, and incar screens take drivers’ eyes off the road.

2. Failure to Yield

Drivers turning left or right often cut off pedestrians.

3. Speeding

Higher speed = more severe injuries.

4. Drunk or Drugged Driving

Impaired drivers are a major threat to pedestrians.

5. Rideshare Vehicles (Uber/Lyft)

Unsafe pickups, dropoffs, and distracted drivers.

6. Parking Lot Accidents

Drivers backing up without checking surroundings.

7. Poor Lighting or Unsafe Conditions

Businesses and property owners may also be liable.

8. HitandRun Crashes

We pursue UM/UIM coverage and investigate aggressively.

Pedestrian injuries are often catastrophic:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Broken bones
• Internal bleeding
• Pelvic fractures
• Facial injuries
