Bicycle & Pedestrian Accidents

Florida Bicycle and Pedestrian Accident Attorney

In Florida, the warm climate and scenic landscapes beckon residents and visitors alike to enjoy the outdoors, with many choosing to navigate the sunshine state on foot or by bicycle. However, this seemingly healthy and eco-friendly choice carries significant risks due to the state's alarming rates of bicycle and pedestrian accidents.

With a specialized focus on personal injury law, Attorney Sammons brings a wealth of knowledge, compassion, and unwavering dedication to each case, ensuring his clients receive the justice and compensation they rightfully deserve.

The Dangerous Condition of Florida's Roads

Florida's reputation for being a perilous state for bicyclists and pedestrians is not unfounded. The state consistently ranks among the highest in the nation for accidents involving non-motorized users. Last year, Florida had the highest rate of fatal bike accidents per 100,000 people compared to all other states. Various factors contribute to this distressing statistic, including high traffic volumes, inadequate infrastructure for cyclists and pedestrians, and a pervasive culture of distracted driving.

According to a 2023 AAA Consumer Pulse Survey, 38% of Floridians admit to speeding in school zones, where 54% of drivers don’t follow speed limits. 81% of pedestrian hit-and-run fatalities in 2023 occurred during dusk, dawn, or low-light conditions. Despite ongoing efforts to improve road safety, the numbers remain stubbornly high, underscoring the urgent need for effective legal representation for pedestrian vs. auto accident victims.

Did you know?

According to the Florida Crash Dashboard, there were 3,442 bicycle accidents between January 1, 2023, and June 2, 2023, resulting in 87 deaths. Furthermore, in 2023 Florida also had 9,942 pedestrian accidents, including 7,869 injuries and 740 fatalities. Trevor Sammons, the dedicated managing partner at Sammons Injury Law, is deeply committed to advocating for the rights of those injured in such accidents across Florida, including the communities of Apollo Beach, Riverview, Gibsonton, Brandon, Lakeland, Palm River, Parrish, Sun City, Bradenton and beyond.

Navigating the Aftermath of an Accident

The immediate aftermath of a bicycle accident or pedestrian accident is often chaotic and confusing. Victims find themselves facing severe physical injuries, which can range from fractures and lacerations to more severe outcomes such as traumatic brain injuries or spinal cord damage. Beyond the physical toll, the emotional and psychological impact of such accidents can be profound, affecting victims' quality of life and their ability to engage in daily activities or return to work.

Financially, the burden can be equally devastating. Medical bills accumulate rapidly, and the loss of income during recovery can strain personal and family finances to the breaking point. In Florida, where the law seeks to protect the rights of accident victims, navigating the complexities of insurance claims and legal proceedings is a daunting task that requires experienced legal guidance. Managing Partner, Trevor Sammons, should be your first choice to assist you with the claim process.
