How a Pedestrian Accident Lawyer in Titusville Can Help You
Your first action after a pedestrian accident or any other personal injury is to get medical attention. If you are already under a doctor’s care, it is important that you follow his or her instructions.
Once you are feeling well enough, we invite you to call our pedestrian accident lawyers in Titusville, FL for a free consultation. We will assess your injuries and the circumstances of your accident. If we prove that the driver was negligent, you could recover damages for accident-related expenses.
Proving Liability to Determine if You Are Entitled to Compensation
Our lawyers can determine the at-fault party using the following considerations:
- The driver (defendant) had a duty of care to avoid the accident.
- The driver did not uphold this duty of care for some reason (for example, texting while driving).
- This accident injured the pedestrian (plaintiff).
- These injuries resulted in physical, emotional, and financial damages.
Please keep in mind that pursuing compensation in Florida must be in accordance with liability and insurance laws. The Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine understand these complex statutes. We will pursue available compensation for you so you can concentrate on feeling better. For a free consultation with our pedestrian accident lawyers in Titusville, please call 1-800-747-3733.
How We Help You Recover Compensation for Your Damages
Florida is a “no-fault” insurance state. This means that when there is any motor vehicle accident, both parties file a claim with their insurance companies. It does not matter who is to blame for the accident. However, this is only one source of potential compensation if someone’s negligence injured you. A pedestrian accident lawyer in Titusville, FL will seek compensation to make you whole.
Pedestrian Accidents Can Result in Severe Injuries
Pedestrians struck by a passenger car are at a higher risk for injuries that include:
- Skull fractures, contusions, or concussions
- Traumatic brain injury
- Spine and neck injury
- Ruptured organs
- Internal bleeding
- Broken, crushed, or fractured bones
- Abrasions and lacerations
- Facial and dental fractures
The potential for catastrophic injury is even higher when an SUV or truck hits a pedestrian. Most people cannot even begin to cover these medical and lifecare costs. A pedestrian accident attorney from the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine will aggressively pursue compensation from the liable party.

We Pursue Compensation From all Potential Sources
Every motorist in Florida must carry a minimum of $10,000 in Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance coverage. If you own a car, a pedestrian accident lawyer from our firm will file a claim with your personal PIP. If you do not own a car, your lawyer will file a claim with the driver’s PIP coverage.
Because pedestrian accident injuries can be severe, the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine will negotiate for added compensation if the $10,000 PIP limit is reached. There also may be more than one liable party. A lawyer from our firm will determine if there is more than one form of liability, including:
- Direct Liability
- Vicarious Liability
- Respondeat Superior
For example, if you were hit by someone driving a company car, we could pursue compensation from the employer through Respondeat Superior liability. We are also trial lawyers who can take your case to court. Florida law allows four years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit.
