Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about pedestrian accident cases 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.

- 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.
