Common questions

What should I do immediately after being hit by a vehicle as a pedestrian?

First, seek medical attention immediately, even if injuries seem minor. Some injuries may not be immediately apparent. If possible, document the scene by taking photos and collecting contact information from the driver and witnesses. Report the accident to police and obtain a copy of the report. Avoid discussing fault or giving recorded statements to insurance companies before consulting with an attorney. At The Law Office of Brian R Toung, PA, we recommend contacting us promptly so we can help preserve evidence and protect your legal rights from the start.

How long do I have to file a pedestrian accident claim in Florida?

In Florida, the statute of limitations for most pedestrian accident cases is four years from the date of the accident. However, this timeline can vary based on specific circumstances. For example, claims against government entities may have shorter notice requirements. Additionally, waiting too long can result in lost evidence and witness memories fading. At The Law Office of Brian R Toung, PA, we recommend consulting with us as soon as possible after your accident to ensure all deadlines are met and your case is properly documented from the beginning.

What compensation can I recover in a pedestrian accident case?

Pedestrian accident victims in Florida may be entitled to various forms of compensation, including medical expenses (both current and future), lost wages, diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and rehabilitation costs. In cases involving permanent injuries, additional compensation for life care plans and accommodations may be available. The specific amount depends on factors like injury severity, impact on your life, and insurance coverage limits. At The Law Office of Brian R Toung, PA, we conduct thorough assessments of all potential damages to ensure nothing is overlooked in your claim.
