SARASOTA COUNTY PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT ATTORNEY

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Sarasota County, Florida:

Pedestrian accidents occur when a motorist strikes a person on foot, or a dangerous condition causes a pedestrian to slip and fall. Motorists are expected to exercise a certain level of care when driving on the road, including yielding to pedestrians when necessary. When a motorist's negligent actions lead to a pedestrian accident, he or she will be held liable for the accident and accountable for any damages that need to be paid. Furthermore, if a pedestrian is injured as a result of a dangerous condition, the owner of the property where the accident occurred can be held responsible for any injuries sustained.


If you are the victim of a pedestrian accident in Sarasota County, Manatee County or the surrounding areas, we can help. We have significant experience in trial law and have been able to recover many verdicts and settlements on behalf of our clients. We know what to look for in order to prove negligence or fault in a pedestrian accident case as well as utilizing effective strategies for negotiating large settlements. Typical pedestrian accidents occur as a result of a motorist striking a pedestrian because
  • The motorist was driving under the influence (DUI)
  • The motorist failed to yield the right of way to the pedestrian
  • The motorist ran a stop sign
  • The motorist ran a red light
  • The motorist made an illegal turn
It should be noted that driver negligence is not the only cause of pedestrian accidents. When sidewalk conditions are not kept up to standards, a pedestrian may sustain an injury, especially if the sidewalk is cracked, broken or overcrowded, or if electrical equipment is exposed.
