Pedestrians struck in crosswalks, parking lots, or along road shoulders often suffer catastrophic injuries.

Damages may draw on bodily injury liability, UM coverage, and sometimes additional policies such as umbrella or commercial auto.

Emergency response
Trauma care first; law enforcement diagrams and witness statements at the scene are high value before memories fade.

Insurance identification
Stack all potentially applicable auto, UM, business, or umbrella policies; pedestrians may have no PIP of their own, making UM and liability limits critical.
- 3
Reconstruction
Use crash reports, surveillance, skid analysis, and visibility studies when speed or sight-line disputes arise.

Our Roots
Local to Palm Beach County
Tourist foot traffic near Atlantic Avenue, Clematis Street, and beach accesses combines with impatient turning traffic. In Orlando, resort corridors and theme-park area crossings see heavy U-turn and shuttle-bus conflicts. Early scene diagrams and signal-timing requests help when drivers claim a walker “came from nowhere.”
