Pedestrian accidents are a major problem all over the country, but especially in Florida. Between the abundance of beaches and months of great weather, it is no surprise that Florida has so much pedestrian traffic. In fact, Florida ranks nearly double the national average in terms of pedestrian accident fatalities despite being on par with other states in terms of total foot traffic. If you have been hurt in an accident and need a pedestrian accident lawyer to fight for you, turn to The Ruth Law Team.

We talked to Amy Catledge after the accident. We gave The Ruth Law Team the go-ahead to represent us. The car accident was in Nov. 2022. A settlement was reached in Jan. 2023 which was earlier than I thought it would be. Patti Olson worked with us and helped us go through some very trying times. It should be noted - Amy was very honest and kept all her promises. Thank you for all your help.

Once again, I would like to extend a sincere thank you to The Ruth Law Team on an above-average representation of my accident law suit. Their impeccable record for leaving you satisfied financially is equally satisfying to health and mental well-being. I would like to personally thank Venetta at the front desk who is the heart of the operation; my lawyer Jessica Shahady, and Carlos who have twice represented me. I also referred a friend who uses their services. Thank you Ruth Law Team. Much continued success.
