A pedestrian hit by a vehicle has zero protection. No metal frame. No distance. Just direct impact from a two-ton object — often at full force. Crosswalk collisions, parking lot impacts, school zone accidents, or cars turning during walk signals leave victims with broken bones, long recovery, towering bills, and anxiety stepping outside again.
Then insurance gets involved — and the narrative flips into how you were dressed, if you were crossing “properly,” if you saw the car.
The burden shifts unfairly unless someone shifts it back.
Desir Law Firm represents pedestrians injured in Sunrise intersections, driveways, parking lots, sidewalks, and near bus stops or residential roads. We secure traffic footage, witness statements, impact measurements, phone records, and driver history. We calculate damages based on long-term recovery, not surface-level medical bills. You don’t negotiate alone — we take over.
Why Immediate Legal Action Matters for Pedestrians
Skid marks fade. CCTV footage overwrites. Drivers “forget” details. Police reports simplify complex scenes. The sooner we step in, the stronger the claim — we send preservation letters, pull camera footage, and collect medical documentation before evidence evaporates.
Typical Pedestrian Injuries We Handle
Vehicle-to-body impact creates severe trauma:
- fractured legs, pelvis, ribs
- spinal cord damage, paralysis risks
- brain injury or skull fracture
- internal bleeding or organ rupture
- disfigurement & permanent scarring
- chronic pain requiring lifetime support
Pedestrian compensation must consider future medical planning, not just today’s bills.
How We Establish Driver Fault Clearly
Negligent driving behaviors we prove:
- texting or distracted operation
- speeding or failure to yield at crosswalk
- turning through walk signals
- impaired or drowsy driving
- rideshare/food delivery rushing for time
We reconstruct the event scientifically — not narratively.
Financial Compensation We Pursue
We seek full-value recovery including:
- emergency care + hospitalization
- rehab, surgery, physical therapy
- lost wages + reduced earning capacity
- home-care or mobility assistance
- pain, suffering, emotional distress
- disability and life-impact damages
Pedestrians deserve maximum recovery — not minimization.
