Being hit by a car can have devastating consequences. Survivors of pedestrian accidents may experience painful and debilitating injuries that interfere with their lives for a long time—or even permanently. Treating injuries frequently results in costly medical bills. If your injuries have stopped you from returning to work, you might be worried about how you’ll pay for the medical care and other help you need.
Fortunately, Your Damage Lawyer has the skills and experience to pursue damages in Boca Raton pedestrian accidents, and our attorneys can help you. We are always on your side and will help you pursue the compensation you deserve.
To receive fair compensation after a pedestrian collision in Boca Raton, you must work with an experienced legal team that knows how to establish the liability of another party and prove the severity of your injury.
Our attorneys know how to carefully examine the evidence to identify proof of liability. According to Florida Statutes § 768.81, you can only pursue a legal claim for damages if you can prove you were less than 50 percent to blame for the accident. For instance, a motorist might try to argue that you contributed to the accident by crossing the street at night while wearing dark clothing. We can use our knowledge to prove that your negligence was not the main cause of the crash, and the motorist’s negligence was more than 50 percent to blame for the accident. Even if a court determines that your actions were 25 percent to blame for the accident, you can still recover 75 percent of your damages with our legal assistance.
People who suffer more severe injuries are more likely to recover substantial damages. We strengthen your damages claim by demonstrating how the accident and resulting injuries have impacted your life.

Being injured by a moving vehicle can cause financial strain to your family. Economic damages can help you recover all your expenses and losses, including:
Our attorneys can help you gather receipts and pay stubs to justify your economic losses.
In addition to quantitative financial losses, pedestrian accidents can also cause emotional suffering. Our attorneys can help you seek non-economic damages to cover your intangible losses, such as pain and suffering, mental trauma, or a decrease in your quality or enjoyment of life.
In rare circumstances, you may be able to obtain punitive damages if you can establish that the accident occurred because of the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of the driver. For example, a motorist who drives drunk or intentionally leaves the scene of a hit-and-run could be liable for punitive damages.
