Pedestrian Accidents Often Cause Serious Injuries and Financial Losses. We Will Establish Yours.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that more than 140,000 pedestrians required emergency care after collisions in 2022. Our attorneys see the pain, psychological effects, and emotional toll such collisions take, and we will seek compensation for your:
- Pain and suffering, which can include post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, physical pain, and several other non-economic challenges resulting from the collision
- Medical costs, which will include the cost of immediate and long-term care
- Professional damages, including any lost income, lost earning capacity, missed bonuses, and lost benefits
- Property expenses, such as the cost of replacing damaged clothing and personal electronics
Our attorneys always consider the economic and non-economic costs of disabling conditions, including physical injuries and mental health effects.

Our attorneys will handle your case from start to finish, fighting for the compensation you deserve by:
Protecting You and Your Rights
We are always prepared for bad faith actions from liable parties, which Investopedia explains is fairly common in injury cases with costly injuries. Once you hire your lawyer from Meldon Law, you won’t have to worry about:

- Accepting a lowball offer
- Unnecessary claim delays
- Any other bad-faith tactics
Meldon Law will be your guardian throughout the process ahead.

Even though Florida uses a no-fault insurance system, fault can be a critical concern if you are attempting to recover compensation beyond PIP coverage. We will secure all witness accounts, video, police reports, photographs, and other evidence of fault.
Documenting Your Damages
Your attorney will secure all relevant proof of your damages, which may include:
- Medical records, including bills and images of injuries

- Your own testimony about the effects of the accident
We will compile all proof of fault and documentation of your damages. These resources will be pivotal as we negotiate a settlement or make your case in court.
