How Can Jaywalking Affect Your Pedestrian Accident Lawsuit?

Jaywalking or crossing the street illegally can potentially impact your ability to recover full compensation in a pedestrian accident lawsuit. While pedestrians generally have the right of way, Florida law states that if a pedestrian crosses a roadway at any point other than a marked crosswalk, they must yield the right-of-way to vehicles.

As pedestrian accident attorneys, we understand that even when jaywalking occurs, drivers still have a duty to exercise reasonable care and caution. However, if it can be proven that the jaywalking pedestrian violated traffic signals or walked improperly, it may be viewed as contributory negligence. This could lead to a shared fault and reduced compensation.

Our goal is to pursue the maximum compensation possible for clients injured by negligent drivers. Whenever we build a case strategy, we thoroughly investigate all circumstances – including potential jaywalking. If jaywalking did occur, we work diligently to demonstrate that the driver should still be held largely responsible due to their duty of care toward pedestrians.
