How Can Meldon Law Help With Your Pedestrian Accident Claim?
Insurance companies do not have your best interests at heart. Even your own personal injury protection (PIP) insurance provider will do everything possible to keep your pedestrian accident settlement low. If you were hurt, you deserve to have a legal advocate who cares on your side. Meldon Law can build your claim and help you seek full and fair compensation from both your PIP coverage and the driver’s insurance.
When you work with our personal injury lawyers in Miramar, you get the support of our experienced and compassionate legal team. We limit the number of cases we take so that we can give our clients personalized attention. We will provide you with frequent case updates, promptly respond to your questions, and ensure you have the information you need to make informed decisions about your case.
While you focus on recovering from your injury or caring for your hurt family member, we can:
- Investigate the accident and gather case evidence
- Prepare and file insurance claims
- Identify and pursue all of your current and future losses
- Tirelessly negotiate for the maximum compensation possible

How Can You Seek Compensation for a Pedestrian Accident Injury in Miramar?
Florida is a no-fault insurance state. Under this system, injured pedestrians may be able to seek compensation from first-party and third-party insurance policies after a car accident.
PIP Insurance
According to Florida Statutes § 627.736, drivers must carry a minimum of $10,000 in first-party PIP insurance. After a pedestrian accident, our attorneys can file a claim against your PIP policy (if you have one) or a claim against the vehicle driver’s PIP, regardless of who was at fault for the collision.
Through PIP, our pedestrian lawyers can seek compensation for:
- 80 percent of your “reasonable” medical expenses, including the cost of surgeries, rehabilitation, medications, and medical devices
- 60 percent of your gross lost income from missed work and loss of earning capacity
- $5,000 in death benefits for fatally injured parties
Liability Insurance or a Personal Injury Lawsuit
If you have severe injuries and your medical expenses exceed the available PIP coverage, we may be able to seek compensation from the vehicle driver through an auto liability insurance claim. However, drivers are not required to purchase bodily injury liability coverage in Florida, and the driver may not have a policy. When necessary, Meldon Law’s pedestrian accident lawyers can pursue damages through legal action.
A liability claim or personal injury lawsuit may include losses not covered by PIP, including:
- 100 percent of your medical expenses
- 100 percent of your lost wages and lost earning capacity
- Pain and suffering damages, including compensation for scarring, disfigurement, severe and disabling injuries, stress, depression, anxiety, and reduced quality of life
- Wrongful death damages on behalf of a fatally injured party’s estate and survivors
Who Is Liable for Your Pedestrian Accident?
A party is liable for your accident if their negligent actions caused your injuries. Drivers are negligent when they break traffic laws or engage in dangerous behaviors like drinking and driving and texting and driving. Motorists must also look out for pedestrians everywhere and at all times, especially at night or in bad weather.
Our attorneys can investigate your case, identify liable parties, and prove negligence.

Call UsFrequently Asked Questions
Meldon Law can answer common questions you may have about pedestrian accidents:
What Are the Most Common Pedestrian Accident Injuries?
Pedestrian accident injuries can be severe because the human body is no match for a moving motor vehicle. Pedestrians also lack protections that may decrease the impact of a crash, such as seat belts and airbags.
Victims may suffer:
- Broken bones
- Back, neck, and shoulder injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Internal injuries and organ damage
When Should You Get a Pedestrian Accident Attorney?
Engaging an attorney from the outset of your claim can provide you with a legal ally who can protect your rights while building your case.
If you must take legal action to obtain fair compensation, you must file your lawsuit before Florida’s statute of limitations expires. According to Florida Statutes § 95.11, the time limit for most personal injury and wrongful death cases is two years.
How Much Does a Pedestrian Accident Lawyer Cost in Florida?
Many personal injury attorneys, including our firm’s pedestrian accident lawyers, take cases on a contingency basis. We do not charge upfront or out-of-pocket fees. We only get paid when and if we obtain compensation for you.
