Sunrise Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

Sunrise residents and other South Floridians enjoy walking because of the sunny weather year round, or for exercise. However, for people that do not own vehicles, walking is often an option or the only method to get around. Unfortunately, pedestrians are always at a risk for being involved in an accident, and many times, it is not their fault. The person walking does have an obligation to watch out for traffic, particularly when crossing in front of driveways. In fact, many accident cases occur when people walking are struck by a vehicle exiting a parking lot or shopping center caused in part by hedges or signs blocking the vision of the driver, the pedestrian, or both. If you have been injured in a pedestrian accident due to another person’s negligence, you might be able to have a case with our firm.

Always make sure that if there is a vehicle approaching you when you are walking, that not only do you make eye contact with that driver, but before walking in front of the car, make certain that that driver has actually seen you. Sometimes, we assume that a driver sees us, and if we’re wrong, well . . . So make sure the driver waves you to proceed forward. Otherwise, best practice is to assume that you have not been seen.
