Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about pedestrian accident cases in Cocoa Beach
What should I do after a pedestrian accident in Cocoa Beach?
First and foremost, seek immediate medical attention, even if you think your injuries are minor. Many serious injuries, particularly head trauma, may not be immediately apparent. Call 911 to report the accident and ensure law enforcement documents the scene.
If possible, gather evidence by taking photos of the accident scene, your injuries, and the vehicle involved. Collect contact information from witnesses and the driver. Don't discuss fault or make statements to insurance companies before speaking with a lawyer.
Contact our experienced pedestrian accident lawyers as soon as possible. Early intervention allows us to preserve crucial evidence and protect your rights while you focus on recovery.

- Emotional distress

- Permanent disability or disfigurement
Every case is unique, and we'll work to identify all possible sources of compensation to ensure you receive the full value of your claim.
How is liability determined in a pedestrian accident?
In Cocoa Beach pedestrian accidents, liability is determined by examining multiple factors, including whether the driver exercised reasonable care and if the pedestrian was following traffic laws. Florida law generally requires drivers to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks and exercise extra caution in areas with high foot traffic.
Our team investigates all aspects of the accident, including:
- Traffic camera footage
- Witness statements
- Police reports
- Physical evidence from the scene
- Expert accident reconstruction when necessary
Even if you may have been partially at fault, you may still be entitled to compensation under Florida's comparative negligence laws.

Our experience with catastrophic injury cases, including our $28.5 million brain injury verdict, enables us to accurately value and effectively pursue compensation for even the most serious injuries.
