Pedestrian Accidents claims in Miramar

Crossing Miramar Parkway on foot means finding a signal first. The blocks between them are long, the turn openings are cut for cars, and a bus stop on one side of six lanes with the plaza on the other creates a walk nobody designed. Florida's PIP can follow you when you are on foot, so your own auto policy, or a household member's, may pay the first medical bills even though you were walking. Drivers rarely admit the light. Ask the officer to write down where you stood and which way the signal faced. Two years, generally, from the day you were hurt.
How fault gets decided can end a pedestrian accident case in Miramar before it starts. Florida's rule: Modified comparative negligence, 50% bar (post-HB837, 2023). You have 2 years to file. Hit while walking or crossing the street? You may have more options than you think.

Frequently asked questions

Who writes the crash report in Miramar?

The Miramar Police Department covers crashes inside the city. On I-75 and Florida's Turnpike it's usually Florida Highway Patrol, and just over the southern line it may be a Miami-Dade agency instead. All reports go to FLHSMV. Get the case number and the responding agency's name before you leave, because those two facts save days later.

Which court would handle a Miramar injury case?

Broward County, Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, with filings going to the Broward courts in Fort Lauderdale. If the crash happened across the county line, it's Miami-Dade and the Eleventh Circuit instead. Smaller claims go to county court and larger ones to circuit court. We are not a law firm, so which one your claim belongs in is a question for a licensed Florida attorney.

I live in Miramar but was hurt on the job in Miami-Dade. What applies?

Florida law is the same statewide, so the two-year deadline and the $10,000 PIP don't change at the county line. What changes is where a suit is filed and which agency wrote the report. A crash on the job may also raise workers' compensation, which runs on a separate track with its own rules. Tell whoever reviews your file that you were working.

How long do I have to file an injury claim in Florida?

In Florida, the deadline is generally 2 years from the date of the accident. Reduced from 4 to 2 years by HB 837 (2023). Wrongful death 2 years. Medical 2 years. Deadlines are strict — the sooner you act, the more options you have.
