Personal Injury
February 23, 2026
Pedestrian accidents in Miami often result in devastating injuries because walkers have no physical protection against motor vehicles. Whether the crash occurred in a crosswalk, at an intersection, in a parking lot, or along busy roads like US-1, I-95, or neighborhood streets in Miami-Dade County, pedestrian accident injuries can be severe or fatal.
Drivers who speed, fail to yield, text while driving, or run red lights frequently cause pedestrian collisions. Insurance companies may try to argue that the pedestrian was partially at fault. A Miami pedestrian accident attorney at Cano Law Firm investigates the scene, reviews traffic camera footage, gathers witness statements, and fights to recover full compensation for your injuries.

In most cases, Florida law allows two years from the date of the pedestrian accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Wrongful death claims also typically have a two-year deadline. However, certain factors may affect these timelines. Consulting a Miami pedestrian accident lawyer as soon as possible ensures your rights are protected.
Florida follows a comparative negligence system. If a pedestrian is partially at fault, such as crossing outside a designated crosswalk, compensation may be reduced proportionally. However, many pedestrian accidents are primarily caused by negligent drivers. An attorney can evaluate fault and liability.
Hit-and-run pedestrian accidents are unfortunately common. If the driver cannot be identified, you may still be able to recover compensation through uninsured motorist (UM) coverage or other insurance policies. A lawyer can review available options.
The value of a pedestrian accident case depends on injury severity, medical expenses, long-term disability, lost income, and pain and suffering. Catastrophic injury cases often result in substantial settlements or verdicts. Each case requires an individualized evaluation.
