Important information: AnswerSignalApp is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Submitting a request does not create an attorney-client relationship, and no lawyer is selected or retained merely by submitting the form.

Situations people describe at pedestrian intake

If you were outside a vehicle when you were hurt, this is the right intake path. These are the situations that come up most often.

  • Crosswalk and intersection impacts

    Being struck while crossing at a signal, a marked crosswalk, or a mid-block crossing, including right-on-red and left-turn impacts.

  • Wide arterial road crossings

    Florida's six- and eight-lane surface roads with long distances between signals, where crossings are common and lighting varies.

  • Parking lot and driveway backovers

    Low-speed impacts in lots, garages, drive-throughs, and apartment complex driveways.

  • Hit-and-run and unidentified drivers

    Situations where the driver left the scene, or was never identified, and you are unsure what to do next.

  • Bicycle, e-bike, and scooter crashes

    Riders struck in a bike lane, on a shoulder, on a shared path, or at a trail crossing with a street.

  • Sidewalk, trail, and shoulder incidents

    Impacts on or beside a sidewalk, a multi-use trail, or a road shoulder where no sidewalk exists.

  • Night and low-light incidents

    Crossings after dark, in rain, or in glare — including places where street lighting is limited.

  • Children and older adults

    Requests from a parent, adult child, or spouse about an injured family member's situation.

  • Visitors injured in Florida

    People hurt while visiting Florida who now live in another state.

Our process and safeguards

Submit a Florida request at any time. We review administrative details for possible connection to a participating lawyer; contact and outcomes are not guaranteed.

Read our process and safeguards

  • Submit any time, 24/7

    The intake form is open around the clock, including nights, weekends, and holidays. That is submission availability only — it is not a promise that a lawyer will contact you at those times.

  • No obligation to hire anyone

    Submitting a request does not commit you to hiring a lawyer, and any fee terms would be set and agreed directly with a lawyer, not with us.

  • Administrative review, not legal judgment

    We review non-legal intake factors such as completeness, general matter type, and Florida location. We do not assess legal merit, fault, guilt or innocence, case value, or outcomes.

  • Florida-only focus

    This service is built for Florida matters and connects consumers only with participating lawyers lawfully permitted to practice law in Florida.

  • No outcome or ranking claims

    We publish no testimonials, star ratings, settlement figures, success rates, awards, or “best lawyer” claims. None of these is a basis for choosing a lawyer through this service.

  • Understand our role before submitting

    AnswerSignalApp is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Submitting a request does not create an attorney-client relationship or select or retain a lawyer.

What information helps an intake review

These are operational facts only. They make an intake review faster and more accurate, and none of them are used to judge the strength of a matter.

  • The Florida city or county where it happened
  • The street, intersection, or crossing, as best you remember
  • The approximate date and time of day
  • What you were doing: walking, crossing, running, cycling, or riding a scooter
  • Whether anyone received medical care, in general terms
  • Whether police or emergency services came to the scene
  • Whether the driver stopped, or was identified
  • Whether you are already represented by a lawyer for this matter
  • The best way and time to reach you

What happens next

  1. 1

    Your request enters the intake queue

    Submissions are accepted 24/7. Review happens during working hours and covers administrative details only: completeness, general matter type, and Florida location information.

  2. 2

    Compliance and eligibility review

    We check whether a participating lawyer is eligible and available for that matter type and region, and whether the request meets our participation requirements.

  3. 3

    A participating lawyer may contact you

    If a connection is made, a participating lawyer may contact you and will tell you where they are located. Contact is not guaranteed or immediate, and nothing obligates you to hire anyone.

Why pedestrian intake asks about the crossing, not the fault

People often assume an intake form is trying to figure out who was to blame. It is not. Describing the crossing, the road, the time of day, and the lighting gives an intake review accurate location and matter-type information — nothing more. AnswerSignalApp does not decide whether anyone had the right of way, whether a driver was careless, or whether a matter is worth anything. Those are questions for a lawyer, after speaking with you.

Keeping the questions administrative is what lets the form stay open at 3 a.m. A form that gathers only non-legal details can accept a request at any hour without anyone pretending legal help is being delivered at that hour.

What we do not do with a pedestrian request

  • We do not assess fault, right of way, negligence, or legal merit.
  • We do not estimate case value, likely recovery, or timelines.
  • We do not tell you what deadlines apply — a lawyer does that.
  • We do not give legal advice, and nothing on this page is legal advice.
  • We do not promise that any request will be connected to a lawyer.

If you are not sure this is the right page

If you were inside a vehicle, the Florida car accident help page collects better detail. If a commercial truck was involved, use the truck accident page. If someone died, the wrongful death intake page is written for family members. And the statewide injury page lists every matter type we accept.

Records and timing questions

For general orientation, see how to keep injury records, photos and any existing video organized and why Florida injury deadlines are claim-specific. Neither is legal advice.

Informational guides only — not legal advice.

Already represented by a lawyer?

If you tell us you already have a lawyer for this matter, we do not route the matter to another participating lawyer, and we will not contact your current lawyer for you. Any questions about your current representation belong with your current lawyer. If you are personally looking for a second opinion or information about changing lawyers, see information for people who already have an injury lawyer.

Keep sensitive identifiers out of your request

Share only what is needed for an intake review. Please do not submit Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, medical record numbers, insurance member IDs, financial account numbers, passwords, or images of identity documents. If a participating lawyer needs additional detail, they can request it directly through their own secure process.

Florida pedestrian accident intake FAQ

Can I submit a pedestrian injury request at any hour?
Yes. The intake form is open 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays. That is submission availability only — no lawyer is standing by, and contact from a participating lawyer is neither guaranteed nor immediate.
Is AnswerSignalApp a law firm?
No. AnswerSignalApp is a consumer legal-intake and connection service operating toward Florida qualifying-provider standards, subject to ongoing compliance review. It is not a law firm, does not practice law, and does not provide legal advice.
I was cycling, not walking. Does this page still apply?
Yes. This intake path covers people injured outside a vehicle — walking, jogging, crossing, using a wheelchair, riding a bicycle, or using a scooter or e-bike. Describe what you were doing in your own words.
Does it matter whether I was in a marked crosswalk?
It may matter legally, but not to intake. We do not assess fault, right of way, or legal merit. Describe where you were as accurately as you can and leave the legal significance to a lawyer.
The driver left the scene. Can I still submit a request?
Yes. You can submit a request even if the driver was never identified or left the scene. Note that in your description so the intake detail is accurate.
Does submitting create an attorney-client relationship?
No. No attorney-client relationship is created by submitting the form, and no lawyer is selected or retained. A relationship can only be formed directly with a lawyer under that lawyer's own agreement.
Do I need a police report or photos?
No. No documents, report numbers, or legal knowledge are required. A short plain description of what happened, the Florida city or county, and the approximate date is enough for an intake review.
Will my request definitely reach a Florida attorney?
No. Requests are reviewed for possible connection. A request may not be connected if it is incomplete, if no participating lawyer covers that matter type or region at the time, or if you say you are already represented.
What should I leave out of my request?
Leave out Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, medical record numbers, insurance member IDs, financial account numbers, passwords, and images of identity documents.
