Osceola County presents unique challenges for pedestrian safety, from the bustling tourist corridors along International Drive and US-192 near Disney World to the growing residential communities in Celebration, St. Cloud, and Poinciana. The mix of distracted tourists, heavy traffic, and Florida's year-round warm climate that encourages walking creates a dangerous combination. Our firm's deep understanding of these local factors, combined with our expertise in Florida's pedestrian protection laws, positions us to build the strongest possible case for our clients.
Proven Experience with Osceola County Pedestrian Accident Cases
Led by Doug Beam, who serves as the 2025 National Trial Lawyers President, our legal team has successfully handled hundreds of pedestrian accident cases throughout Osceola County. We understand that Florida's pedestrian right-of-way laws can be complex, especially when determining liability in cases involving crosswalks, intersections, and unmarked roadways. Our car accident lawyers work closely with accident reconstruction experts, medical professionals, and traffic engineers to thoroughly investigate every aspect of your case.
Whether your accident occurred on the busy commercial strips of Kissimmee, the tourist-heavy areas around Disney World, or the residential streets of St. Cloud, we know how to navigate the unique circumstances of each location. Our attorneys are skilled at countering insurance company tactics that often attempt to blame pedestrians for accidents, even when drivers clearly violated traffic laws or failed to exercise reasonable care.
Understanding Your Rights and Compensation Options
Pedestrian accidents typically result in severe injuries due to the lack of protection when a human body collides with a vehicle. From traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord damage to broken bones and internal injuries, the medical costs can be overwhelming. Our firm fights to recover compensation for all your damages, including current and future medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life.
Florida's comparative negligence law means that even if you bear some responsibility for the accident, you may still be entitled to compensation. Our experienced personal injury lawyers know how to minimize any alleged fault while maximizing your recovery. We work with medical experts to document the full extent of your injuries and their impact on your future earning capacity and quality of life.
Immediate Action is Critical
Florida's statute of limitations gives you only two years from the date of your pedestrian accident to file a lawsuit. However, waiting too long can also result in lost evidence, faded memories, and weakened witness testimony. The afternoon thunderstorms common in Osceola County can wash away crucial evidence, making immediate investigation essential. Our team is prepared to respond quickly to preserve evidence and begin building your case.
At Douglas R. Beam P.A., we handle all pedestrian accident cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. We offer free consultations and will come to you if your injuries prevent you from traveling to our office.

Frequently Asked Questions
An award-winning pedestrian accident lawyer is waiting to review your case (for free)
What do pedestrian accident lawyers do?
Pedestrian accident lawyers specialize in representing victims who have been struck by vehicles while walking, providing comprehensive legal services from investigation through trial. We immediately begin gathering evidence, including police reports, witness statements, traffic camera footage, and medical records to build a strong case. Our attorneys work with accident reconstruction experts to determine exactly how the accident occurred and who was at fault.
Beyond investigation, we handle all negotiations with insurance companies, who often try to minimize payouts or blame pedestrians for accidents. Our serious injury lawyers understand the tactics insurers use and fight aggressively to secure fair compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future care needs. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are prepared to take your case to trial.
What types of damages can I receive compensation for in a pedestrian accident case?
Pedestrian accident victims can recover compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages include all medical expenses from emergency treatment through long-term rehabilitation, lost wages from time off work, and future medical costs if you require ongoing care. These damages also cover transportation costs to medical appointments and any necessary home modifications for disabilities.
Non-economic damages compensate for pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and the impact on your relationships with family members. In cases involving permanent disabilities or disfigurement, these damages can be substantial. Florida's comparative negligence law means your compensation may be reduced if you are found partially at fault, but you can still recover damages even if you bear some responsibility for the accident.
What types of injuries are commonly caused by pedestrian accidents?
Pedestrian accidents often result in severe injuries due to the lack of protection when a human body collides with a vehicle. Head injuries, including traumatic brain injuries and skull fractures, are common and can have lasting effects on cognitive function and quality of life. Spinal cord injuries can result in partial or complete paralysis, requiring lifetime medical care and assistance with daily activities.
Other frequent injuries include broken bones in the legs, arms, and ribs, internal organ damage, and severe road rash or lacerations. Many pedestrian accident victims suffer multiple injuries simultaneously, requiring extended hospital stays and multiple surgeries. The force of impact can also cause psychological trauma, including post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety about walking or being near traffic.
How is liability determined in a pedestrian accident?
Liability in pedestrian accidents is determined by analyzing Florida's traffic laws, pedestrian right-of-way rules, and the specific circumstances of the accident. Drivers have a duty to exercise reasonable care and watch for pedestrians, especially in crosswalks, school zones, and areas with high foot traffic. Factors like speeding, distracted driving, driving under the influence, or failing to yield can establish driver negligence.
However, pedestrians also have responsibilities, such as using crosswalks when available, obeying traffic signals, and not suddenly entering traffic. Our attorneys thoroughly investigate all aspects of the accident, including road conditions, visibility, traffic signals, and witness accounts. We work with wrongful death lawyers when pedestrian accidents result in fatalities, ensuring families receive the compensation they deserve for their devastating losses.
How does no cost representation for pedestrian accident cases work?
Our pedestrian accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no attorney fees unless we successfully recover compensation for you. This arrangement allows accident victims to access experienced legal representation without upfront costs or financial risk. We advance all case expenses, including expert witness fees, medical record retrieval, and court costs, so you don't have to worry about paying anything out of pocket.
When we win your case through settlement or trial verdict, our legal fees are paid as a percentage of the recovery amount, and all advanced costs are reimbursed from the settlement. If we don't win your case, you owe us nothing for attorney fees or costs. This contingency fee structure aligns our interests with yours – we only succeed when you do, motivating us to fight for the maximum compensation possible.
