Clearwater Pedestrian Accident Lawyers

Many adults as well as children are victims of accidents while walking on the sidewalk, road or elsewhere, often through no fault of their own. Pedestrians who are hit by motor vehicles can be damaged in several ways. You may have experienced bodily injuries and resulting pain and suffering, lost wages, loss of the ability to earn money in the future, disability, expenses for hospital, immediate and future medical treatments, and you may have aggravated a prior injury. You deserve to be compensated for these losses.

Unlike motorcycle riders, a victim of a pedestrian accident may be entitled to personal injury protection (PIP) benefits from the insurance company of the vehicle that injured them or from any vehicle owned in their household.
