Question:
Can a pedestrian be partially at fault in Southwest Florida?
Answer:
In Florida, as a pedestrian, talking about fault for an accident, there is what is called comparative fault in Florida. That means the law views things comparatively. Just because one party, be it the pedestrian or be it the motorist, may not be 100% at fault for the accident, what the law tells us is that can be shared by a percentage between the multiple parties. Simply because you may have a feeling that you have done something wrong, contact an attorney. Let them evaluate the case. Contact an attorney like us, Goldstein Buckley Cechman, Rice & Purtz, that knows the law in this area and handles these cases on a daily basis because your assumption simply may be incorrect. Even if your assumption is correct, there are ways that we can go about helping you handle your case to collect justice for you based upon the percentage at fault that would be applied to the automobile driver that ended up striking you, the pedestrian, with their automobile.
