Are you looking for an attorney to help with a pedestrian accident in Gainesville? Many pedestrians have been injured due to someone else’s negligence, and often times the damages can be extensive.
Hiring an experienced Pedestrian Accident Attorney in Gainesville can give you the best chance of getting the compensation you deserve. If you’ve been injured in a pedestrian accident, don’t wait – contact us now to learn more about how we can help you fight for justice.

What Are The Main Causes Of Pedestrian Accidents in Gainesville?
All successful personal injury claims involve proving that someone else acted negligently and caused your injury. Through our investigation, we will define the cause of the accident, which can be:
- Speeding;
- Driving under the influence of alcohol;
- Failing to obey traffic signals or yield the right way;
- Poor judgment;
- Inexperience;
- Road rage;
- Improper lane changes;
- Poorly maintained roadways can also contribute to a crash if there are potholes, uneven pavement, or debris on the road.
We will identify the negligent party – whether it be a motorist or a government department – and pursue compensation from them on your behalf.
What Compensation Can You Seek After a Pedestrian Accident in Gainesville?
From our experience with Gainesville pedestrian assistance, we know how costly these accidents can be and how difficult it can be to get compensation. We can help you seek financial recovery for legal costs such as:
- Healthcare bills;
- Lost income;
- Pain and suffering;
- Property damage.
Additionally, if your injury affects your ability to earn an income in the future or results in scarring and disfigurement, we are here to help you recoup those losses too.
If someone close to you has passed away as a result of a pedestrian accident, then you might have grounds to file a wrongful death claim on their behalf. You could be eligible to get compensated for funeral expenses, medical costs, loss of consortium, loss of household benefits and income. You must act fast though – the statute of limitations allows only two years from the date of death to file the lawsuit.

How a Pedestrian Accident Attorney In Gainesville Can Help?
Trying to handle your pedestrian accident claim by yourself is a huge mistake. You may be eager to get the money to pay your bills, but insurance companies take advantage of those who are in vulnerable positions because of life-changing injuries and heavy losses. All too often, this leads to low settlements that leave victims with unpaid expenses.
At Henningsen Injury Attorneys P.C., we understand how to take on the insurance companies so you don’t have to. We will identify all liable parties, calculate your damages, and communicate directly with insurance companies while providing the necessary evidence they require. If we feel that current settlement offers are inadequate, we will negotiate for a higher amount or escalate the matter to civil court if necessary.
Many people believe that not using an attorney will save them money; however, more often than not having one of our experienced lawyers on your side will result in much higher compensation in the end – even after paying legal fees.
Experiencing a pedestrian accident can be an incredibly difficult and traumatic experience for the victim. Don’t go through it alone and call us today to discuss your case!

I would recommend to anyone! I’ve heard horror stories about various law firms and I was very skeptical in the beginning. However, I am so grateful for my experience with... read more the Henningsen Law Firm. This is actually a late review. My first experience with them was in 2018. Mrs. Tammy was my case manager and she is A1! She is very professional. Mrs. Tammy communicates thoroughly and timely which is really important when going through an emergency situation. Any time I had a question, Mrs. Tammy answered me with clear and direct answers! I had never been in an accident prior to my incident in 2018 and she gave me so much peace throughout my case. I am so glad I found them. During that time, I didn’t have any medical insurance, my car was a total loss, and suddenly it was a domino effect of unfortunate events for me such as losing my job, housing, etc...My attorney group still made sure I had the best medical care and transportation. I’d also like to mention that my settlement was reached pretty quickly compared to what I’ve been told is the norm; and it was more than enough for me to get my life back together, even after the medical bills, etc...I truly felt as if they fought for me! I’ve recently been in another accident. I didn’t even think twice before calling them again and I asked for Mrs. Tammy, lol. No offense to any other case managers because if you work with this firm, I’m sure you’re great. However, my grandma always told me “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”! I love Mrs. Tammy💚. I have no worries about anything. Anytime someone I know gets in an accident, I refer them to Todd Henningsen because I know they will be taken care of all the way around. He is considered a “Super Lawyer” for a reason! You would think I was on their payroll the way I talk about my experience with this firm, but it’s only because I mean it and I want to help someone else make the best decision for themselves as well! If you have any doubt, let Henningsen see you out! God bless

Attorney Henningsen, Rebecca and the team provided phenomenal service from the... read more initiation of my case to the conclusion.

After I was rear ended , the insurance company started giving me the run around. I work full time and do not have the time to battle with insurance... read more to have my car repaired. I had seen Mr. Henningsen on Atlanta and Company (11Alive) and he seemed like a good person, not some flashy tv attorney. I contacted him , we had a meeting and he took care of everything else. Carmen (the para, I think) were great to work with , I would use him again and recommend him to friends.

Excellent customer service. Very responsive. Great outcome. I was in a major car accident and while it could have been worse, I was not in the situation to deal with... read more insurance, hospital calls, etc. on my own. My experience with Henningsen was very positive. Carmen (my main contact) was very responsive, broke down complicated literature for me, and always had my best interest at heart. If I had anything relating to the accident - I just forwarded it her way and I knew it was taken care of. I would recommend them again and again!

I was involved in an accident that wasn't my fault, I really didn't have a clue what to do next. The day after I was released from the hospital I... read more was very down because I was hurt, out of work and scared. My wife and I were watching TV, and good day channel 5 featured Mr. Todd Henningsen, injury attorney and he was actually giving advice for FREE....We took that as a sign, and called. From the moment I walked through his door, I was treated with kindness, respect,and EVERYTHING with my case was taken care of by Mr Henningsen and his paralegal Carmen, all I had to do was follow their instructions. I was very impressed with their service from start to end. I will recommend them to EVERYONE I know. Thanks so much, and I wish you both much success

I was introduced to Henngsen Injury Attorneys in 2019 by a friend. I have been represented by this great firm twice in the past 3 years, each time I had... read more the privilege of having the representation of Paralegal Tamera Smith and Mr. Henningsen as my attorney . If I had to describe this team in four words it would be; tenacious, brilliant, strategic, and compassionate. This team helped me achieve the highest settlement in my life time. I pray that I won't endure another collision, however in the event that it happens again I will not hesitate to call Henningsen Injury Attorneys.

LaShanda is very good at her... read more job and was on everything I sent in. She kept me in the loop throughout out my case and never once did she not respond with ultimate respect and she was readily available to answer any of my questions and concerns. I met with Todd, he was kind.
