Pedestrian accidents account for a significant share of catastrophic injuries on our roads. Because pedestrians lack any means of protection against an automobile, they are often left with debilitating injuries after a collision, including leg fractures and brain injuries. Pedestrian accidents often occur at crosswalks and busy intersections where cars tend to overlook people making their way across the street. Children and the elderly are especially vulnerable to pedestrian accidents, but the narrow streets of Panama City also make young beachgoers and bicyclists vulnerable to injury.

When pedestrians are injured due to the negligence of a driver, the auto accident attorneys at our Panama City firm can help victims recover compensation from the driver’s insurance company, as well as damages for pain and suffering if the injury is permanent. Driver negligence can take many forms, including driving under the influence, speeding or reckless driving, failure to yield to pedestrians, and failure to stop at an intersection. Our auto accident attorneys in Panama City can reconstruct the accident to help determine fault, and negotiate a favorable settlement with insurance companies on your behalf. While most cases involving pedestrian accidents are settled out of court, the auto accident attorneys at our Panama City firm have the experience and the resources to aggressively litigate in a court of law.
