Can I file an injury claim if I was hit by a vehicle while crossing outside of a crosswalk in Florida?

Yes. Crossing outside of a marked crosswalk does not automatically prevent you from pursuing compensation. While Fla. Stat. § 316.130 requires pedestrians to yield the right-of-way outside designated crossings, drivers still maintain a legal duty to exercise due care and avoid hitting pedestrians. Under Florida's modified comparative fault law (Fla. Stat. § 768.81), an injured pedestrian may recover damages as long as their share of fault does not exceed 50 percent. Jeffrey S. Altman and The Altman Law Firm thoroughly examine driver speed, visibility, and distracted driving evidence to establish motorist liability.
