Attorney Jordan Wright provides hands-on, aggressive representation for injury victims throughout South Florida. Whether you sustained injuries in a highway collision, got hurt on unsafe property, or lost a loved one to negligence, we fight to hold the responsible parties accountable.
Pedestrian Accidents
Fort Lauderdale Pedestrian Accident Lawyer
Getting hit by a car changes everything in an instant. One moment, you’re crossing the street, walking through a parking lot, or jogging through your neighborhood. The next, you’re dealing with severe injuries, time away from work, rising medical bills, and an insurance company already looking for ways to blame you.
You don’t have to take that on alone.
At Wright Accident & Injury Law, Attorney Jordan Wright fights for pedestrians who were hurt by careless, distracted, speeding, or impaired drivers. We handle the insurance companies, investigate the crash, preserve critical evidence, and build a case designed to recover the full compensation you deserve, so you can focus on healing.
We're Here to Help After Your Pedestrian Accident
No two pedestrian accidents are exactly alike. Where the crash happened, how the driver was behaving, and what traffic controls were in place can all shape how your case is investigated and valued. We have proven results with:
Crosswalk Accidents
Drivers who fail to yield in marked crosswalks often cause devastating injuries. We work to prove the driver ignored the pedestrian’s right of way and failed to use reasonable care.
Intersection Crashes
Left-turn and right-turn pedestrian accidents are common in Fort Lauderdale. Drivers focus on traffic and never look for the person crossing in front of them. We move quickly to secure traffic camera footage, witness statements, and crash scene evidence.
Parking Lot Accidents
Drivers backing out without looking, speeding through retail lots, or cutting across walkways can seriously injure pedestrians even at lower speeds. These cases often involve businesses, private property evidence, and surveillance footage that can disappear fast.
Hit-and-Run Pedestrian Accidents
When a driver flees the scene, your case becomes even more urgent. We investigate aggressively, work to locate the driver, and pursue every available source of recovery, including uninsured motorist coverage when it applies.
School Zone & Child Pedestrian Injuries
Drivers who speed through school zones or ignore crossing guards put children at extreme risk. These cases demand immediate investigation and a strong liability strategy from day one.
Sidewalk, Shoulder & Roadside Collisions
Not every pedestrian crash happens in a crosswalk. We represent clients struck while walking along roadsides, in residential neighborhoods, near bus stops, and in areas with poor pedestrian infrastructure.
Compensation for Your Pedestrian Accident Injuries
Pedestrians have no airbags, no seatbelts, and no steel frame protecting them from impact. That’s why these crashes often cause catastrophic harm. We make sure every category of damage is recognized, documented, and fully valued:
Broken Bones & Fractures:
Leg, hip, pelvis, rib, arm, and facial fractures often require surgery, hardware, and months of rehab.
Brain Injuries:
Concussions and traumatic brain injuries can affect memory, focus, mood, and long-term independence.
Spinal Injuries & Paralysis:
Herniated discs, spinal trauma, and partial or complete paralysis demand serious, long-term compensation.
Internal Organ Damage:
Internal bleeding and organ trauma may not be visible right away, but they can become life-threatening fast.
Permanent Disability & Disfigurement:
Some pedestrian crashes leave lasting mobility limitations, scarring, amputations, or lifelong care needs.
Wrongful Death:
We provide compassionate representation for families seeking justice after a fatal pedestrian accident.
Why Fort Lauderdale Chooses Wright Accident & Injury Law
Choosing the right lawyer matters. Pedestrian accident claims often look simple at first, but insurance companies work hard to complicate them. They may argue you crossed outside a marked crosswalk, stepped into traffic too quickly, wore dark clothing, or somehow caused the driver’s failure to pay attention.
Jordan Wright knows how to push back.
He brings a litigation-first mindset, direct attorney access, and a clear strategy built around evidence. When insurers try to shift blame onto the person who was walking, we counter with the facts.

How Wright Accident & Injury Law Handles Your Pedestrian Accident Claim
After a pedestrian crash, the insurance company starts building its defense immediately. At Wright Accident & Injury Law, we step in fast, protect the evidence, and guide you through the process with clear, aggressive advocacy. Here’s how we build your case:
1. Immediate Investigation & Evidence Preservation
We move quickly to gather police reports, scene photos, vehicle damage evidence, surveillance footage, traffic camera video, and witness statements before they disappear. In serious cases, we may also work with accident reconstruction experts to show the driver had time to see you and avoid the crash.
2. Medical Care Coordination & Injury Documentation
Pedestrian injuries are often severe and treatment can be extensive. We help connect clients with trusted medical providers and specialists, document the full scope of the injuries, and make sure the medical evidence reflects how deeply the crash has affected daily life, work, and future health.
3. Aggressive Negotiation & Trial-Ready Litigation
We prepare every pedestrian accident case as if it’s going to trial. That means building strong liability evidence, documenting your damages in detail, and refusing to accept lowball offers from the insurance company. If they won’t do what’s right, we’re prepared to take the fight to court.
The Clock is Ticking.
Evidence fades fast after a pedestrian crash. Video gets deleted. Witness memories weaken. The driver’s insurance company starts working immediately to reduce or deny your claim.
1. 14-Day Medical Rule
If your case involves Florida PIP benefits, you must seek medical treatment within 14 days after the crash or risk losing those insurance benefits.
2. 2-Year Statute of Limitations
Wait too long, and you may lose your right to seek compensation forever under Florida law.
Reach out the moment you’re hurt, and we’ll move quickly to preserve the evidence, protect your rights, and put pressure on the insurance company to do right by you.
