Premier Personal Injury Representation in Florida

Pedestrian accidents are among the most severe traffic incidents in and around Jacksonville. Unlike motorists, pedestrians have no structural protection in a collision. When struck by a vehicle, even at moderate speeds, the injuries are often catastrophic.

With busy corridors such as Beach Boulevard, Atlantic Boulevard, and high-traffic downtown areas, Jacksonville presents ongoing risks for individuals crossing streets, walking near intersections, or navigating parking lots. Distracted driving, speeding, failure to yield, and impaired operation frequently contribute to these preventable crashes.

According to the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), 10,726 pedestrian accidents occurred in the state in 2025, resulting in 612 pedestrian deaths. This unfortunately reflects the dangers that Florida pedestrians face on our streets.

The Law Offices of Nooney, Roberts, Hewett & Nowicki represents pedestrians and families whose lives have been upended by negligent drivers. We understand both the legal complexities and the profound personal toll these cases carry.

How We Represent Pedestrian Accident Victims in Jacksonville

Our firm takes immediate and methodical action in these accidents.

Meticulous investigation: We obtain crash reports, secure surveillance footage, interview witnesses, and evaluate roadway design and traffic control devices. In disputed cases, we consult accident reconstruction experts to clearly establish fault.
Comparative negligence: Florida follows a modified comparative negligence system; if you are partially at fault for the accident, your financial recovery will be reduced. Insurance companies often attempt to argue that you contributed to the accident by claiming that you were improperly crossing, were distracted, or failed to use a marked crosswalk. We work to counter these arguments with evidence and legal analysis.
Comprehensive damages evaluation: We review medical records, consult treating physicians, and assess long-term care needs to fully quantify both economic and non-economic losses.
Negotiation and litigation: We present a well-documented demand to insurers and pursue litigation when a fair settlement is not offered. With over 150 years of combined experience and hundreds of cases filed annually, our Jacksonville pedestrian accident lawyers are prepared for complex injury litigation.

Why Pedestrian Accidents Are So Devastating

When a vehicle strikes a pedestrian, the force of impact is absorbed directly by the human body. As such, in these accidents, you are typically the one who suffers the most damage.

Victims commonly suffer:

Traumatic brain injuries
Spinal cord injuries
Pelvic and leg fractures
Internal organ damage
Severe lacerations and disfigurement
Permanent disability

Recovery often involves extensive hospitalization, surgical intervention, rehabilitation, and long-term care. Many victims are unable to return to work for months or permanently. Families must suddenly manage medical decisions, financial strain, and emotional trauma.

In fatal pedestrian accidents, surviving family members are left confronting both grief and economic loss.
