Pedestrian Accident Lawyer Fees in Hialeah
Pedestrian accident lawyer fees in Hialeah, Florida average about $13,700 — roughly 114% of the U.S. average and above the Florida state average of $12,350.
What this typically includes
Investigating the crash and canvassing for video, obtaining the police and 911 records, identifying every applicable policy (the driver’s liability, your UM/UIM and MedPay, PIP where it applies), handling PIP and medical-lien paperwork, valuing the claim, negotiating with the insurers, and filing and litigating a lawsuit if the offer is inadequate. Case costs — records, accident reconstruction, expert reports, depositions, filing fees — are advanced by the firm and repaid from the recovery, separate from the attorney fee.
Florida is a no-fault state, so a pedestrian hit by a car is normally paid first through personal injury protection (PIP) regardless of fault — your own auto policy if you have one, otherwise the striking vehicle's — and the serious injuries typical of a pedestrian impact often meet the threshold to step outside no-fault and pursue the driver directly.
Pedestrian accident attorneys in Florida work on contingency — about a third (33.3%) of the recovery before a lawsuit is filed, rising in litigation — so you pay nothing unless you win. Expect the insurer to argue you were jaywalking: Florida's comparative-fault rule decides how much that argument costs you, and where the driver fled or was uninsured, your own UM coverage is usually what pays.

- Case stage — Settling with the insurer costs less than litigating, and litigating less than a trial.
- Injury severity — Pedestrian impacts cause fractures, head injuries, and permanent harm, which drives the recovery.
- Available coverage — Low liability limits cap the claim unless UM/UIM, MedPay, or a second defendant is found.
- Comparative fault — Every point of blame the insurer shifts onto you cuts the recovery by the same percentage.

- Jurisdiction — No-fault PIP, negligence rules, crosswalk statutes, and deadlines are all set by state.
How to choose a pedestrian accident lawyer in Hialeah
Fees matter, but the right pedestrian accident attorney in Hialeah also often improves your timeline and your outcome. Before you hire:

- Look for pedestrian accident experience. Choose an attorney who regularly handles pedestrian accident cases in Florida, not a generalist.
- Use the free consultation. Most Hialeah pedestrian accident attorneys review your case at no cost — use it to compare two or three.
