Port St. Lucie Pedestrian Accident Attorney
Protecting the Rights of Injured Pedestrians Throughout St. Lucie County
Walking should be one of the safest ways to travel, whether you’re crossing the street, walking through your neighborhood, or enjoying one of Port St. Lucie’s many parks and shopping districts. Unfortunately, careless and distracted drivers continue to put pedestrians at risk every day. Because pedestrians have little to no protection in a collision, these accidents often result in catastrophic injuries or even wrongful death.
At Stone Law, we represent pedestrians who have been injured because of another person’s negligence. From our conveniently located Port St. Lucie office at 745 SE Port St. Lucie Blvd., Port St. Lucie, FL 34984, we proudly serve clients throughout St. Lucie County and the Treasure Coast, helping accident victims recover the compensation they deserve after serious pedestrian accidents.
Experienced Legal Representation After a Pedestrian Accident
Being struck by a vehicle can have life-changing consequences. Victims often face extensive medical treatment, lost wages, rehabilitation, permanent disabilities, and emotional trauma. Insurance companies frequently attempt to minimize claims or shift blame onto the pedestrian.
At Stone Law, we work to level the playing field by conducting a thorough investigation, preserving evidence, interviewing witnesses, reviewing traffic camera footage, and consulting with accident reconstruction experts when necessary. Our goal is to hold negligent drivers accountable while helping our clients obtain maximum compensation for their injuries.
Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents in Port St. Lucie
As Port St. Lucie continues to grow, traffic congestion has increased on many major roadways. The city and the Florida Department of Transportation have identified several corridors for enhanced pedestrian safety enforcement due to higher numbers of pedestrian and bicycle crashes.
Many pedestrian accidents are caused by:
- Distracted driving
- Texting while driving
- Speeding
- Failure to yield at crosswalks
- Running red lights
- Failure to stop at stop signs
- Impaired driving
- Aggressive driving
- Unsafe left turns
- Poor visibility during nighttime hours
Whether the accident occurred on Port St. Lucie Boulevard, US-1, Crosstown Parkway, Gatlin Boulevard, Becker Road, Prima Vista Boulevard, or near Interstate 95 or the Florida Turnpike, our attorneys are prepared to protect your rights.
Serious Injuries We Commonly See
Pedestrian accidents frequently result in severe injuries because there is nothing separating the victim from a moving vehicle.
Our firm represents clients suffering from:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones
- Neck and back injuries
- Internal organ damage
- Pelvic fractures
- Facial injuries
- Severe lacerations
- Permanent disabilities
- Wrongful death
These injuries often require months or years of medical care and rehabilitation. We work closely with medical professionals to fully understand the long-term impact of your injuries before negotiating with insurance companies.
Who May Be Responsible?
Although drivers are responsible for exercising reasonable care around pedestrians, other parties may also share liability depending on the circumstances.
Potentially responsible parties include:
- Negligent drivers
- Commercial trucking companies
- Delivery vehicle operators
- Employers
- Government agencies responsible for roadway maintenance
- Property owners
- Vehicle manufacturers if defective equipment contributed to the accident
Our attorneys carefully investigate every case to identify all available sources of compensation.

- Emergency medical treatment
- Hospital expenses
- Future medical care
- Physical therapy
- Lost wages
