If a car hit you while you were walking in Florida, the medical bills and the insurer’s story show up fast. Lopez Law represents pedestrians hurt in crashes. The office is at 2151 S Le Jeune Rd, Suite 305, Coral Gables, FL 33134.
Ily Lopez is a Florida-licensed personal injury attorney. Consultations are free. You do not pay attorney’s fees unless we recover money for you.
Crosswalks, mid-block, and causeways
These cases happen in marked crosswalks, at dark mid-block crossings, in parking lots, and on the approaches to the MacArthur, Venetian, and I-195 causeways. A left-turning driver, a rideshare pulling over, or a vehicle that never stops at the line can all be the facts. We start with the police report, the intersection, and your medical treatment. We do not need you to reconstruct the scene yourself.
Get medical care first. Ask for the crash report number. Do not give a recorded statement to the driver’s insurer before you talk with a lawyer. Florida PIP on a household auto policy may apply even if you were on foot. PIP generally requires initial treatment within 14 days. Most injury lawsuits now have to be filed within two years.
