Tampa Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

We Help You Recover Financially After Serious Injury

In 2004, USA Today reported that the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater area had the nation's highest rate of pedestrian deaths per 100,000 population.* Indeed, as summed up by the University of South Florida's Department of Engineering, "Florida has consistently ranked as one of the worst states in terms of pedestrian and bicycle crashes, injuries and fatalities."**

At Winters & Yonker P.A. we are very aware of the faces and lives behind each number on the statistical charts put together by such agencies as the National Highway Safety Administration and the Florida Department of Transportation. Our Tampa pedestrian accident attorneys are there to help the injured victim and/or surviving family members after catastrophic injuries or fatalities brought on by hit-and-run pedestrian accidents or crosswalk injuries.

After an Accidental Injury, Seek Qualified Medical Care and Legal Counsel

Even if you are able to walk away from a pedestrian accident, further pain and complications may develop over time. For this reason, it is important to have a medical evaluation of your condition very soon after the accident. You may be able to qualify for medical treatment even if your health insurance does not cover the costs. Did you know that your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage may help in the event of a pedestrian accident? We will review your policies and work to get access to all applicable insurance coverage, so that you get as full and fair an insurance settlement as possible.

We will also represent you in negotiations with the various insurance companies involved in the aftermath of a serious pedestrian accident — such as your auto insurance company and your health insurance company. Your insurance companies may argue with each other about which company should pay which bills, with you in the middle. We take you out of the middle of this argument and handle the bills on your behalf. In the process, we may be able to negotiate reduction of any amounts owed.
