Okaloosa County, FL Pedestrian Accident Attorney
Pedestrian accident lawyer for Niceville, Fort Walton Beach, Crestview, Destin and Walton County, Florida
Florida law requires drivers to yield to people on foot in a crosswalk, and a person hit while walking can bring a negligence claim against the driver within two years of the injury; personal injury protection pays the first medical bills, up to $10,000: your own policy or a resident relative's if you have one, otherwise, for a Florida resident, the policy on the vehicle that hit you. Fault can be disputed in pedestrian cases, so Ricky Dayaram Law secures the crash report, the camera footage and the witnesses early for people hurt on U.S. 98 and the other Okaloosa County roads.
Sources (checked September 16, 2026): Florida Statute 316.130, Florida Statute 627.736, Florida Statute 95.11.
Walking Should Never Be Dangerous
Florida law requires drivers to yield to people on foot in crosswalks. Many do not, and the person walking pays for it. These crashes cause serious injuries, and the evidence disappears as fast as it does in a Niceville car accident case.
At Ricky Dayaram Law, LLC, we hold the driver and the insurer responsible for what the crash cost you.
