Michles & Booth — Compassionate Lawyers for Crestview Pedestrian Accident Victims

Pedestrian accidents are almost always caused by a driver's negligence. Our Crestview personal injury attorneys have the resources to investigate exactly what happened, gathering evidence from traffic cameras, witness statements, and our in-house investigators.

We build strong cases centered on common causes of pedestrian accidents, including:

• Distracted driving: Texting, talking on the phone, or adjusting the GPS.
• Failure to yield: Ignoring a pedestrian's right-of-way in a crosswalk.
• Speeding: Driving too fast for conditions, especially in residential areas or near parks.
• Impaired driving: Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Disregarding traffic signals: Running a red light or a stop sign.
• Failing to see: Not properly checking for pedestrians before making a turn.

We Understand the Catastrophic Injuries Pedestrians Face

Unlike passengers in a vehicle, a pedestrian has zero protection in a collision. This results in devastating, life-altering injuries. Our attorneys have extensive experience handling cases involving the specific types of trauma victims suffer, including:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs): A pedestrian's head striking the vehicle or the pavement can cause severe brain injuries, leading to permanent cognitive, physical, or emotional disabilities.
• Spinal cord injuries: Damage to the spinal cord from the force of the impact can result in partial or complete paralysis (paraplegia or quadriplegia), requiring a lifetime of medical care.
• Severe fractures: The blunt force of a vehicle often causes multiple, complex fractures, especially to the legs, pelvis, and arms. These "crush" injuries may require multiple surgeries and extensive rehabilitation.
• Internal organ damage: The impact can cause severe internal bleeding, punctured lungs, or damage to vital organs like the liver and spleen, which are life-threatening emergencies.
• Amputations: In some severe cases, limbs may be damaged beyond repair, resulting in the traumatic loss of a leg or arm.

We build your case to account for the actual, long-term cost of these injuries, including future surgeries, in-home care, lost earning capacity, and the profound impact on your quality of life.
