Pedestrian Accidents in Miami

Walking in Miami should be safe, whether you’re crossing Biscayne Boulevard or heading to a neighborhood store. But when drivers fail to yield, speed through crosswalks, or get distracted behind the wheel, pedestrians suffer. Without the protection of a vehicle, even a low-speed crash can lead to devastating injuries. If you or a loved one was hit by a car, Jimenez Mazzitelli Mordes is here to help.

Pedestrian accidents often involve life-altering trauma. Victims can suffer head injuries, broken bones, spinal cord damage, and permanent disability. Some face long hospital stays, multiple surgeries, or months of physical therapy. Others never recover. Our firm works to hold negligent drivers accountable and fight for every dollar you deserve.

Florida law protects pedestrians, especially in designated crosswalks. Drivers must stop for those crossing the road and remain alert in areas with heavy foot traffic. Still, we regularly see accidents caused by:

  • Speeding or reckless driving
  • Distracted or texting drivers
  • Drunk or impaired driving
  • Failure to yield at crosswalks
  • Running red lights or stop signs

Insurance companies often try to blame the pedestrian or minimize the injuries. They may suggest the victim wasn’t in the crosswalk or was partially at fault. We know how to push back. Our legal team investigates the crash scene, obtains witness statements, surveillance footage, and traffic reports to build a solid case.

We fight to recover compensation for:

  • Emergency care, hospital bills, and follow-up treatment
  • Lost income and reduced ability to work
  • Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
  • Long-term care or rehabilitation
  • Wrongful death benefits if a loved one was killed

At Jimenez Mazzitelli Mordes, we understand how stressful and painful this time can be. You should not have to battle insurance adjusters while you or your family are trying to heal. We handle the legal fight so you can focus on recovery. And you won’t owe us anything unless we win your case.

If you or someone you care about was hit by a car in Miami, don’t wait to take action. Important evidence can disappear quickly, and strict deadlines apply to personal injury claims.
