What Damages Can I Recover for a Pedestrian Accident in Panama City?
Each pedestrian accident produces different damages, and we’ll need to review your case before identifying recoverable losses. Some damages that we commonly see in pedestrian accident cases are:
- Damage to personal property: When a motor vehicle strikes you, there is a chance that any personal property on you—a cell phone, watch, necklace, sunglasses, and other valuables—will suffer damage.
- Medical costs: It’s common sense that a motor vehicle striking a pedestrian can cause severe injuries, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) confirms as much. Medical expenses for such severe injuries can be high, and may include surgery, hospitalization, and extensive rehabilitation.
- Pain and suffering: Pain and suffering goes hand-in-hand with serious injuries. A pedestrian accident victim may suffer physical pain, traumatic memories of the accident, lost sleep, depression, lost quality of life, and other forms of pain and suffering. You might need treatment for your pain and suffering—another reason that you may deserve compensation.
- Professional losses: Pedestrians struck by vehicles often miss work. When they can’t work, victims may lose income, performance bonuses, productivity, good standing with their employer, and other benefits.
As the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) explains, the worst pedestrian accidents are fatal. If your loved one passed away from a pedestrian accident in Panama City, then you may get compensation for:
- Your pain and suffering, as well as the decedent’s pain and suffering
- Funeral costs
- The decedent’s healthcare costs
- Lost companionship
- Lost parental guidance
- Loss of the decedent’s household value
- Lost financial support
GED Lawyers will identify every loss arising from your pedestrian accident. You may deserve compensation for each damage.

How GED Lawyers Will Lead Your Pedestrian Accident Case in Panama City
When we accept a pedestrian accident case, we finish it. Our team will lead your case from start to finish and can help you by:
Establishing Liability for the Accident
We’ll gather the facts of your accident in Panama City and identify liable parties, who may include:
- A motorist
- A vehicle manufacturer
- The municipality of Panama City
- An establishment that overserved a drunk driver involved in your accident
- Any other party whose negligence contributed to your accident
Liability is specific to your case. Our team will identify all liable parties so we can seek fair compensation from them.
Preparing Evidence and Documentation for Your Case
Evidence may show who was at fault for your accident. Video footage, photographs, witness accounts, the police report for your collision, and other forms of evidence may be powerful during settlement negotiations.
We’ll also document your damages and may use:
- Your doctor’s diagnosis of injuries
- Mental health professionals’ diagnosis of trauma
- Proof of lost income
- Medical bills
- Invoices for repairing or replacing damaged property
- Any other document that helps prove your damages
We’ll be as prepared as we can be once we enter settlement talks.
Negotiating a Settlement
We may complete your case with a settlement. First, we’ll have to negotiate. We never expect defendants to simply volunteer fair compensation. After we present evidence, explain your damages, and make our arguments, though, they may agree to compensate you fairly.
We’ll complete all other steps involved in your pedestrian accident case.
