Whether they’re strolling through a neighborhood or crossing a busy parking lot, pedestrians are a common sight here in Orlando. But having such a high number of pedestrians and motorists on our roadways means that crashes between the two are bound to happen.
According to the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles’ Crash Dashboard, there were more than 10,000 pedestrian accidents in Florida in 2023.
While this number is far lower than the amount of car crashes, the damage is often much worse. Without airbags, seat belts, and two tons of steel to absorb the impact, pedestrian accident injuries often result in severe trauma or even death.
As Orlando personal injury lawyers, Beers & Gordon is dedicated to helping you get the justice and compensation you deserve.
Orlando accident attorneys David Beers and Jim Gordon started their careers defending insurance companies involved in personal injury claims. Yet everything we learned from this experience, we now put to work for you.
Today, the law firm of Beers & Gordon, P.A. is dedicated solely to representing injured pedestrians who were hit by a car, motorcycle, or bicycle.
Over the years, we have handled a wide variety of accident claims, from hit-and-run accidents to 70-car pile ups and everything in between. This experience has not only given us unique insight into the best ways to handle your case, it has helped us create a network of accident experts who can help strengthen your personal injury case and give you the best chance of success.
With more than 70 years of combined experience, the attorneys at Beers & Gordon are uniquely qualified to handle your pedestrian accident case and help you receive the full compensation you deserve.
Over the years, auto manufacturers have made huge strides in making vehicles safer. Improved safety restraint systems, increased number of airbags, tempered glass windshields, are all designed to protect drivers involved in a collision.
But while heavier vehicles offer more crash protection for those inside the car, they are far more dangerous to pedestrians.
Getting hit by even a midsize sedan can cause serious injuries, ranging from broken bones and whiplash to concussion or traumatic brain injuries.
The catastrophic injuries caused by car-and-pedestrian accidents aren’t just traumatizing or life-threatening, they are expensive as well. When you consider the cost of your medical treatment, lost wages, and pain and suffering, it should be no surprise that pedestrian accident settlements are some of the highest ones we encounter.
Winning your pedestrian accident case isn’t about getting bragging rights or “teaching the other guy a lesson.” It’s about helping you receive the compensation necessary to pay your medical bills and recover from your injuries.
If you are unable to work due to your injuries, you will also be contending with lost wages or even the loss of future potential income. Our attorneys are able to work with vocational experts and even economists to establish the full extent of your financial losses.
Once we understand the true value of your case, we can negotiate the proper settlement amount to ensure that you have enough to recover from your injuries.
However, not every personal injury case results in a good settlement. Other law firms may push you towards accepting a smaller settlement simply because they are not confident of their ability to represent you in court. But at Beers & Gordon, you’ll have the benefit of working with a board-certified trial attorney who is looking out for your best interests.
If you’ve been injured in a pedestrian accident, you may find it impossible to continue your fight against the other driver’s insurance company while trying to recover from your injuries.
However, our experience has shown us that this is exactly what the insurance company wants—to wear you down until you are willing to accept whatever offer they throw at you.
Working with an accident attorney in Orlando—especially one who is experienced at handling pedestrian accident cases—not only gives you the best chance of winning your case, it makes the entire process easier.
From start to finish, our pedestrian accident attorneys and paralegal team will be working on your behalf to make sure you receive the justice you deserve.
