Senft Injury Advocates were life savers for me after experiencing a serious accident on the highway during rush hour traffic. My car was rear-ended and I received back injuries. Everyone I dealt with at Senft Legal were excellent advocates in helping me navigate through a very complex, difficult case. Katie responded immediately whenever I had questions. Jack got me the best settlement possible in my case. I highly recommend this firm! They are knowledgeable, responsive and capable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, car insurance can cover pedestrian accidents in Florida. Under Florida’s no-fault system, if the pedestrian has their own auto insurance (or is covered under someone else’s policy), that insurance will cover their medical expenses and lost wages, regardless of fault. If the pedestrian does not have insurance or has expenses that exceed their policy limit, they can pursue compensation from the at fault driver.

Yes, you may still file a claim in Florida even if you were jaywalking. Florida's comparative negligence rule dictates that your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault for the accident. For example, if you are found 30% at fault due to jaywalking and your total settlement amount is $100,000, your compensation would be reduced by 30%, leaving you with $70,000. A Florida pedestrian accident lawyer can assess the specifics of your case, explain how comparative negligence laws apply, and work to maximize your compensation.

Yes, you can file a claim after a hit-and-run accident, even if the at-fault driver cannot be identified. If you have uninsured motorist coverage on your auto insurance policy, it can help cover medical expenses, lost wages, and other expenses. If you do not, Florida offers a Victims Compensation Fund through the Florida Office of the Attorney General. This program assists victims of certain crimes, including hit-and-runs, by providing financial help for medical bills, counseling, lost wages, and other expenses. To qualify, you typically need to report the accident promptly and submit details regarding the case including expenses.

Our Florida pedestrian accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. Instead, we are paid a percentage of your settlement or court award, typically ranging from 33% to 40%, depending on the complexity of the case. This ensures you have access to legal representation when seeking compensation for your injuries.

The time it takes to settle a pedestrian accident case in Florida depends on factors like the severity of injuries, the complexity of the case, and whether liability is disputed. Simple cases may settle within months, while more complex cases or those that go to trial could take a year or longer. A Florida pedestrian accident lawyer can provide a more accurate estimate based on your specific situation.

After a pedestrian accident, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, including hospital visits and rehabilitation costs, as well as lost wages if your injuries prevent you from working. Compensation can also cover the physical and emotional toll of the accident, often referred to as pain and suffering. In some cases, you can recover costs for personal items damaged during the accident, such as a phone or other belongings. The exact amount will depend on the severity of your injuries and the specifics of the accident.
