Local Miami line: (305) 320-4529
You stepped off a curb on Brickell Avenue. You were crossing Collins Avenue to get back to your hotel. You were walking your dog through Little Havana at dusk. And then a driver — distracted, speeding, drunk, or simply not looking — changed your life in a single second.
If you or someone you love was struck by a vehicle while walking in Miami-Dade, Broward, or anywhere in Florida, you are not just another traffic statistic. You are a survivor of one of the most preventable — and most catastrophic — injury events that exists on American roads. At Sky Law Firm, our Florida pedestrian accident lawyers represent people who were doing nothing more dangerous than walking when a driver hit them. We know the orthopedic surgeons. We know the adjusters. We know the crash reconstructionists. And we know exactly how to force insurance carriers to pay what a shattered pelvis, a traumatic brain injury, or a funeral actually costs.

Florida: The #1 State in America for Pedestrian Fatalities
This is the single most important statistic for any pedestrian accident case in our state, and it drives every jury argument we make:
Florida is ranked the #1 most dangerous state in the United States for pedestrians. According to the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) and Smart Growth America’s annual “Dangerous by Design” report, Florida has held the top spot — or tied for it — essentially every year for more than a decade. Out of the 20 most dangerous metropolitan areas in the country for walkers, Florida consistently occupies 8 of them, including the Orlando-Kissimmee, Deltona-Daytona, Jacksonville, Cape Coral-Fort Myers, and Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach metros.
Key Florida-specific pedestrian statistics:
- Approximately 800+ pedestrians are killed in Florida every year, accounting for roughly 1 in 5 of all Florida traffic deaths.
- Miami-Dade County alone sees over 90 pedestrian fatalities annually and more than 1,500 pedestrian injury crashes.
- Pedestrian deaths in Florida have risen more than 40% over the last decade, even as overall traffic deaths in other states have declined.
- Nearly 75% of Florida pedestrian fatalities occur after dark, and the majority happen on wide, high-speed arterial roads designed for vehicles — not people.
- Hispanic and Black pedestrians die at significantly higher per-capita rates than white pedestrians in Florida, a disparity Miami-Dade prosecutors and our firm take seriously.
Why does this matter legally? Because it destroys the single most common defense argument in pedestrian cases: “the pedestrian came out of nowhere.” In Florida, the engineering, the lighting, the signal timing, and the speed limits on roads like U.S.-1, Biscayne Boulevard, Flagler Street, and NW 36th Street are themselves dangerous. We use state and federal safety data to prove drivers — not pedestrians — are the ones who need to be extra careful on Florida streets.
Crosswalk vs. Jaywalking: How Florida's Comparative Negligence Law Really Works
One of the first questions every client asks us is: “I wasn’t in a crosswalk — do I still have a case?”
The answer in Florida, almost always, is yes. But you need to understand exactly how fault is apportioned.
Florida's Modified Comparative Negligence Rule (Post-2023)
In March 2023, Florida changed its comparative negligence statute. Under the current law (Fla. Stat. § 768.81):
- If you are more than 50% at fault for the accident, you recover nothing.
- If you are 50% or less at fault, you can still recover damages, but your award is reduced by your percentage of fault.
So if a jury finds the driver 70% at fault and you 30% at fault for, say, crossing mid-block, and your damages total $1,000,000, you recover $700,000.
This is a massive change from the old “pure” comparative system, and it makes hiring an experienced Florida pedestrian accident lawyer more critical than ever. Defense attorneys and insurance adjusters now have a financial incentive to push your fault percentage above 50%, because if they succeed, you get zero. We fight that fight every single day.
Pedestrians in Crosswalks — Florida Law
Under Fla. Stat. § 316.130, drivers must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians:
- In any marked crosswalk.
- In any unmarked crosswalk at an intersection (yes — every intersection in Florida has an unmarked crosswalk by law, whether the paint is there or not).
- When the pedestrian has a “WALK” signal.
- When the pedestrian is on the driver’s half of the roadway, or close enough to be in danger.
If a driver hits you in a crosswalk, they are presumptively at fault. Period. Don’t let an adjuster tell you otherwise.
"Jaywalking" — Mid-Block Crossings
Florida law does require pedestrians crossing outside a crosswalk to yield the right-of-way to vehicles. But yielding ≠ being 100% at fault. Drivers still have an affirmative duty to:
- Maintain a proper lookout.
- Drive at a speed that is reasonable under the conditions.
- Exercise due care to avoid striking any pedestrian, even one crossing illegally (Fla. Stat. § 316.130(15)).
- Sound the horn when necessary.
We regularly win cases where our client was technically jaywalking but the driver was speeding, texting, impaired, or blew through a yellow light. In those cases, fault is often split 60/40, 70/30, or even 80/20 in our client’s favor — and the settlement is still life-changing.
What Kills Your Case
These are the facts that hurt pedestrian claims, and we need to know them immediately so we can address them:
- Crossing against a “DON’T WALK” signal on video.
- Being significantly intoxicated (above .08 BAC).
- Darting into traffic from between parked cars with no time for the driver to react.
- Walking on a controlled-access highway (I-95, Palmetto, Turnpike) where pedestrians are prohibited.
Even in these cases, we’ve recovered meaningful compensation — especially when the driver was also impaired or fled the scene.
Hit-and-Run Pedestrian Accidents: You Still Get Paid (Here's How)
Miami has one of the highest hit-and-run rates in the country. Florida Highway Patrol statistics show more than 100,000 hit-and-run crashes statewide each year, and pedestrians are disproportionately the victims. If the driver who hit you fled the scene, do not assume your case is over. It isn’t.
Step 1: The Criminal Investigation
Leaving the scene of a crash involving injury is a third-degree felony in Florida (Fla. Stat. § 316.027), punishable by up to 5 years in prison. If the pedestrian dies, it becomes a first-degree felony with a mandatory minimum of 4 years in prison.
We coordinate directly with Miami-Dade PD, Miami Beach PD, FHP, and the State Attorney’s Office to push for the identification and arrest of the driver. We obtain:
- Surveillance footage from nearby businesses, condos, and ATMs (most footage is overwritten within 3-14 days — speed matters).
- Doorbell/Ring camera footage from neighborhood residents.
- Cell tower data and license plate reader (LPR) hits in the vicinity.
- Body shop reports (mandatory reporting for vehicles with suspicious damage in Florida).
- Crimestoppers tips (there is frequently a reward for information).
Step 2: Uninsured Motorist (UM) Coverage — Your Real Source of Recovery
Here is what most people don’t know: even if the hit-and-run driver is never caught, your own auto insurance policy almost certainly covers you as a pedestrian.
Under Florida law, a hit-and-run driver is legally treated as an “uninsured motorist.” If you or any resident relative in your household has Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM) coverage on any auto policy, that coverage extends to you as a pedestrian. This is called “UM stacking” and it is enormously valuable.
Example: You were hit walking across Washington Avenue. The driver fled. You live with your parents, who have 100/300 UM coverage on two vehicles. Because Florida allows stacking (unless specifically waived in writing), you may have $200,000 in UM coverage available — and that’s before we look at PIP, MedPay, and any other policies.
Step 3: PIP (Personal Injury Protection)
Florida is a no-fault state. Every Florida auto policy includes $10,000 in PIP coverage that pays 80% of your medical bills and 60% of lost wages — regardless of fault and regardless of whether the driver is ever identified. As a pedestrian, you are still covered under your own PIP policy (or a resident relative’s policy). We get PIP activated within 72 hours of being retained.
Step 4: Crime Victim Compensation
If the driver is never identified, you may be eligible for up to $25,000 from the Florida Bureau of Victim Compensation, which pays for medical expenses, mental health counseling, funeral costs, and lost wages for victims of criminal activity — and hit-and-run qualifies.
Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, and Amazon Drivers Hitting Pedestrians
Rideshare and gig-economy delivery drivers are involved in a rapidly growing percentage of Miami pedestrian crashes — particularly in Brickell, Downtown, Wynwood, Miami Beach, and around MIA airport. These cases have unique coverage structures that most general-practice lawyers get wrong.
The Uber / Lyft Coverage Tiers
Uber and Lyft drivers have different layers of coverage depending on what they were doing at the moment they hit you:
| Driver Status | Coverage Available |
|---|---|
| App OFF (personal use) | Only the driver’s personal auto policy (often a Florida minimum $10K PIP / $10K PDL — severely underfunded) |
| App ON, waiting for a ride request | $50,000 bodily injury per person / $100,000 per accident / $25,000 property damage (Uber/Lyft contingent coverage) |
| On the way to pick up a rider OR rider in the car | $1,000,000 third-party liability policy plus contingent comp/collision |
If you were hit by a driver who had the rideshare app on and was en-route or carrying a passenger, there is a $1,000,000 commercial liability policy sitting there waiting to be claimed. We know how to prove the driver’s app status through subpoena of Uber/Lyft’s internal trip logs and GPS data — which must be preserved immediately via a litigation hold letter before it is routinely purged.
DoorDash, Uber Eats, Instacart, and Amazon Flex
Delivery drivers typically have:
- Their personal auto policy (often minimum limits, often specifically excluding commercial use — which can create coverage denial fights).
- The delivery platform’s commercial policy (often $1M while actively on a delivery).
- The restaurant/merchant’s general liability (in limited circumstances).
- Amazon’s $1M commercial auto policy for Flex drivers on delivery.
We’ve handled cases where a DoorDash driver ran a red light on Biscayne and hit our client in a crosswalk. The driver’s personal insurer denied coverage (commercial use exclusion), but we tapped DoorDash’s $1M policy through careful litigation. Do not accept the first “no” from any insurer.
Undocumented Immigrant Pedestrians Have Full Rights Under Florida Law
This is a uniquely Miami issue, and it is one of the most important things you need to know:
Your immigration status does NOT affect your right to recover money for a pedestrian accident in Florida.
We represent a significant number of undocumented clients, TPS recipients, DACA recipients, asylum seekers, visa overstays, and lawful permanent residents. Florida personal injury law does not care about any of that. Here are the protections we fight for every single day:
Key Rights of Undocumented Pedestrian Accident Victims
- You can file a lawsuit in Florida state court. Immigration status is not a bar to recovery. The Florida Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed that undocumented plaintiffs have standing.
- You are entitled to the same damages as any U.S. citizen — medical bills, lost wages, loss of future earning capacity, pain and suffering, and loss of consortium for your spouse.
- Lost wages are calculated on what you actually earned, whether you worked on the books, off the books, or as a day laborer. Under the Florida evidence rule (and consistent with federal precedent like Hoffman Plastic), defense lawyers cannot introduce your immigration status to reduce lost wage claims in the vast majority of cases.
- Motions in Limine to exclude immigration status. We file aggressive pre-trial motions to prohibit the defense from mentioning your status in front of a jury. Florida courts routinely grant these motions because status is (a) irrelevant, (b) unfairly prejudicial, and (c) designed solely to inflame prejudice.
- ITIN vs. SSN is irrelevant for settlement purposes. We can structure settlements that use an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number. We work with banks and structured settlement firms that handle this discreetly.
- No reporting to ICE. There is no law in Florida requiring personal injury attorneys, medical providers, or insurance carriers to report immigration status to federal immigration authorities in connection with a civil injury claim. We never share that information with anyone.
- You can recover even if you were working without authorization. If you were walking to a job site on NW 27th Avenue when a driver hit you, your claim is just as valid as a U.S. citizen’s.
- U-Visa possibilities. In hit-and-run or DUI cases, the criminal nature of the driver’s conduct may qualify you for a U-Visa (for victims of serious crimes who assist law enforcement). We partner with immigration counsel to explore this path when appropriate.
- Your family members can still recover wrongful death damages — surviving spouses, children, and parents are entitled to compensation regardless of anyone’s immigration status.
Your status is safe with our office. Your case is worth the same as anyone else’s. Come talk to us.
Florida Statute of Limitations: The Clock Is Ticking
Florida dramatically shortened the personal injury statute of limitations in March 2023. For any accident occurring on or after March 24, 2023:
- Personal injury (negligence): 2 years from the date of the accident (reduced from 4 years).
- Wrongful death: 2 years from the date of death.
- Claims against a government entity (e.g., city bus, Miami-Dade transit, county vehicle): 3 years to file, but written notice must be provided within 3 years and suit filed within 4 — and damages are capped at $200,000 per person / $300,000 per incident absent a special claims bill from the Florida Legislature.
- Uninsured Motorist claims: 5 years (breach of contract statute applies).
- PIP benefits: 5 years.
If your accident happened before March 24, 2023, the old 4-year statute likely still applies — but this is a fact-intensive analysis and you should not guess.
Miss the deadline by even one day and your case is over forever. Call us the moment you are able to.
Damages Available in a Florida Pedestrian Accident Case
When a driver hits a pedestrian, the injuries are almost always catastrophic. A 4,000-pound car hitting a human body at 35 mph produces injuries a courtroom can barely describe. We fight for full compensation across every category of damages Florida law allows:
Economic Damages
- Past medical expenses — ER, trauma surgery, ICU, orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery, rehab, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy.
- Future medical expenses — often the largest component; calculated using a life care planner we hire to project decades of future care.
- Past lost wages — every week you miss from work.
- Loss of future earning capacity — calculated by a vocational expert and forensic economist we retain.
- Out-of-pocket costs — prescriptions, medical devices, home modifications (ramps, stair lifts, accessible bathrooms), transportation to medical appointments.
- Property damage — phone, laptop, clothing, jewelry destroyed in the crash.
Non-Economic Damages
- Pain and suffering — past and future.
- Mental anguish — PTSD, anxiety, depression, fear of crossing streets.
- Loss of enjoyment of life — can’t play with your kids, can’t run, can’t work out.
- Disfigurement and scarring — road rash, skin grafts, amputations.
- Loss of consortium — your spouse’s claim for loss of companionship.
Punitive Damages
Available under Fla. Stat. § 768.72 when the driver’s conduct constitutes:
- Gross negligence — conscious disregard for the safety of others.
- Intentional misconduct — drunk driving at extreme BAC levels, street racing, fleeing police.
Punitive damages are typically capped at the greater of 3x compensatory damages or $500,000, with higher caps for specific intent or financially-motivated misconduct.
Wrongful Death Damages (Fla. Stat. § 768.21)
When a pedestrian is killed, the Florida Wrongful Death Act allows:
- Loss of support and services to surviving family members.
- Loss of companionship and guidance (for minor children) and mental pain and suffering for parents of a deceased minor child.
- Medical and funeral expenses.
- Lost prospective net accumulations of the estate.
The Most Dangerous Intersections and Corridors in South Florida
We have handled pedestrian cases at virtually every dangerous intersection in Miami-Dade and Broward. If you were hit at any of these locations, we already know the engineering issues, the signal timing, and the crash history:
Miami-Dade
- U.S.-1 / South Dixie Highway (entire corridor, especially Kendall, Pinecrest, Cutler Bay segments) — chronic pedestrian fatality hotspot.
- Biscayne Boulevard from Downtown to Aventura — 6-lane arterial, high speeds, minimal pedestrian refuges.
- NW 27th Avenue — consistently one of the deadliest corridors in the state.
- Flagler Street — Little Havana foot traffic meets fast commercial drivers.
- Collins Avenue / Ocean Drive — tourist-heavy, alcohol-heavy, valet chaos.
- Washington Avenue (Miami Beach) — nightclub district, late-night impaired driving.
- LeJeune Road near MIA — airport rush, rideshare drivers cutting across lanes.
- NW 36th Street — industrial truck traffic meets residential pedestrians.
- Okeechobee Road (U.S.-27) — high-speed truck corridor through Hialeah.
- Krome Avenue — rural, dark, no sidewalks, frequent fatalities.
Broward
- Federal Highway (U.S.-1) through Fort Lauderdale, Pompano, Deerfield.
- State Road 7 / 441 — consistently on the “most dangerous in Florida” lists.
- Oakland Park Boulevard.
- Sunrise Boulevard.
- Hollywood Boulevard / A1A.
If the government entity responsible for the road (FDOT, Miami-Dade County, or a municipality) knew about a dangerous condition and failed to fix it, there may be a separate premises liability / roadway design claim against that entity — in addition to the driver’s liability.
Sky Law Firm Case Results: Pedestrian Accidents
Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Every case depends on its specific facts.
- $4.2 Million — Crosswalk Collision, Brickell. 34-year-old finance professional struck by speeding SUV in a marked crosswalk at Brickell Ave and SE 10th St. Traumatic brain injury, two pelvic surgeries, lumbar fusion. Settled pre-suit after coordinating with the driver’s $1M policy and an underinsured motorist stack.
- $2.8 Million — Hit-and-Run, Little Havana. Undocumented day laborer struck on Flagler Street at night; driver fled and was identified via LPR two weeks later. Recovered from driver’s liability, client’s household UM policy, and Florida Victim Compensation.
- $1.95 Million — Uber Driver Running Red Light, Wynwood. Tourist hit in crosswalk by Uber driver en-route to pick up a rider. Tapped the Uber $1M commercial liability policy and the driver’s personal umbrella. Fractured femur, internal bleeding, long-term mobility issues.
- $1.35 Million — Wrongful Death, NW 27th Avenue. 58-year-old grandmother killed crossing to a bus stop. Mother of three adult children and grandmother of seven. Settled against the driver’s policy and a commercial delivery company whose driver was the at-fault party.
- $875,000 — Miami Beach Nightclub District. Client struck by intoxicated driver on Washington Avenue at 2:15 a.m. Multiple fractures. Secured driver’s full policy limits plus punitive damages claim against the nightclub (dram shop-adjacent theory).
- $620,000 — Hialeah Crosswalk. Elderly pedestrian struck by left-turning vehicle at Okeechobee Road. Broken hip and shoulder. Pre-suit settlement secured within 7 months.
What to Do Immediately After a Pedestrian Accident in Florida
If you are reading this in the hours or days after being hit, here is exactly what to do:
- Get medical care, today. Even if you feel “okay.” TBIs, internal bleeding, and soft tissue injuries often don’t present for 24-72 hours. And under Florida’s PIP statute, you must seek medical treatment within 14 days or you lose your PIP benefits entirely.
- Call the police and get a crash report. The report number is essential.
- Photograph everything — the scene, the vehicle, the license plate, your injuries, your clothing, the crosswalk or lack thereof, the lighting, the signal timing.
- Get witness names and phone numbers. Do not rely on the police to get them.
- Do NOT give a recorded statement to any insurance company — not the driver’s, not your own — until you have spoken to a lawyer. Adjusters are trained to ask questions designed to reduce your claim.
- Do NOT post on social media. Defense lawyers subpoena Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok in every case. A single photo of you smiling at a birthday dinner will be used against you.
- Preserve the shoes and clothing you were wearing. Do not wash them. They are physical evidence.
- Call Sky Law Firm. We will send an investigator, a biomechanical expert if needed, and a crash reconstructionist to the scene within hours — not days.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How much does a Florida pedestrian accident lawyer cost?
Nothing upfront. Sky Law Firm handles pedestrian cases on a contingency fee. If we don’t recover money for you, you owe us nothing — no fees, no costs. If we do recover money, our fee comes out of the settlement or verdict per Florida Bar Rule 4-1.5(f)(4)(B), typically 33⅓% if resolved pre-suit, increasing if litigation is filed.
2. I was hit but didn't go to the hospital that day. Do I still have a case?
Possibly, but time is critical. Under Florida’s 14-day rule, you must seek medical treatment within 14 days of the accident or you lose your PIP benefits. Even beyond PIP, a gap in treatment is used by adjusters to argue the injury wasn’t serious. Go see a doctor today and call us.
3. I was jaywalking. Is my case worthless?
No. Under Florida’s modified comparative negligence rule, you can still recover as long as you are 50% or less at fault. Drivers have an independent duty to avoid hitting pedestrians — even jaywalkers. We regularly settle “jaywalking” cases for substantial sums.
4. The driver fled and was never caught. Can I still recover?
Yes. Your own auto policy’s Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage treats a hit-and-run driver as uninsured. If you, your spouse, or a resident family member has UM coverage, that coverage extends to you as a pedestrian. You may also be entitled to up to $25,000 from the Florida Bureau of Victim Compensation.
5. I'm undocumented. Can I file a claim?
Absolutely. Immigration status has no bearing on your right to recover damages for a pedestrian accident in Florida. Your claim is worth the same as a citizen’s. We do not share your status with ICE, the insurance company, or anyone else without your consent. We routinely file motions in limine to exclude immigration status from trial.
6. I was hit by an Uber/Lyft driver. What coverage is available?
Depending on what the driver was doing at the moment of the crash, you may have access to a $1,000,000 commercial liability policy through Uber or Lyft. We preserve the trip log evidence immediately and pursue every available layer of coverage.
7. How long do I have to file a pedestrian accident lawsuit in Florida?
For accidents on or after March 24, 2023, you have 2 years from the date of the accident (or 2 years from death in a wrongful death case). Accidents before that date may have a 4-year deadline. Claims against government entities have special notice requirements. Call immediately to preserve your rights.
8. How much is my Florida pedestrian accident case worth?
It depends on (1) the severity of your injuries, (2) your medical bills and future care needs, (3) lost wages and earning capacity, (4) insurance coverage available, and (5) the liability picture. Minor cases can be five figures; catastrophic-injury and wrongful death cases routinely reach seven and eight figures. We give you a realistic valuation range during your free consultation.
9. The insurance company offered me a quick settlement. Should I take it?
No. Early settlement offers are almost always a fraction of case value. The adjuster is trying to close the file before you understand the full extent of your injuries, before future medical costs are projected, and before you hire a lawyer. Do not sign anything. Let us evaluate.
10. My loved one was killed as a pedestrian. Who can file the wrongful death claim?
Under Florida’s Wrongful Death Act, the personal representative of the estate files the claim on behalf of surviving family members — typically the spouse, children, and in some cases parents. We handle the estate opening, the personal representative appointment, and the wrongful death litigation as a single coordinated matter.
11. What if the driver was on the job (Amazon, UPS, FedEx, a contractor)?
If the driver was in the course and scope of employment, the employer is vicariously liable under the doctrine of respondeat superior. Commercial policies typically have much higher limits ($1M+) than personal auto policies. We aggressively pursue employer liability whenever it exists.
12. Do I have to go to court?
Probably not. Roughly 95% of Florida personal injury cases resolve via settlement before trial. But we prepare every case from day one as if it will be tried — because that preparation is what forces insurers to pay fair value. If a trial is necessary to get you full compensation, we are ready.
