Florida is a comparative negligence state, so the police officer's report is meaningless. It is not even admissable in court. See a personal injury lawyer if she is injured badly. See www.FL-PI-Lawyer.com

You should speak with a qualified attorney. Pedestrians have the right of way in most cases in FL and with the apportionment of fault which occurs under FL law a jury will make the ultimate determination, not an inadmissible police report.

If you are in Miami-Dade, Broward or Palm Beach Counties, feel free to give me a call at 305.482.3264
