If you were injured in a West Palm Beach pedestrian accident, the damage you can see is rarely the whole story. West Palm Beach sits in Palm Beach County, part of Florida's South Florida. Florida is one of the most dangerous states for people on foot and on bikes. When a vehicle hits a person, there is nothing to absorb the impact, so injuries are often severe even at lower speeds.
What Matters in a West Palm Beach Pedestrian Accident Claim
Severe injury risk
Head injuries, fractures, and internal injuries are common because there is no protection from the impact.
Your own PIP may help
In Florida, your own auto insurance can sometimes apply even when you were walking or biking.
Right-of-way facts
Where the crash happened and who had the right of way are details insurers fight over.
Where West Palm Beach Crashes Happen
Serious West Palm Beach crashes tend to happen on I-95, Florida's Turnpike, Okeechobee Boulevard, Southern Boulevard, and US-1 (Dixie Highway). The bridges over the Intracoastal and busy downtown streets add to the mix.
After a Serious West Palm Beach Crash
People seriously hurt in a West Palm Beach crash are often taken to St. Mary's Medical Center, a Level I trauma center in the area. The care and records from that stay become an important part of any later claim.
Handling a West Palm Beach Injury Claim
A West Palm Beach injury claim generally falls under Palm Beach County and Florida's Fifteenth Judicial Circuit. A free review carries no cost and no obligation, and submitting it does not create an attorney-client relationship.
Florida Deadlines Can Apply
Florida sets time limits on injury claims. Under Florida Statutes § 95.11, many negligence claims have a limitations period (commonly two years for negligence), but the exact deadline depends on your case. Evidence from a West Palm Beach pedestrian accident can disappear quickly, so it is best not to wait to get a review.
