Bicycle And Pedestrian Injuries

The Tampa Bay area is not known as a safe haven for bicycle riders and pedestrians. A variety of factors combine to create real risks for bikers and walkers. Some of those factors include:

  • Civil engineering and planning that was not designed to accommodate pedestrians and bicycle riders
  • Drivers who fail to notice bike riders or pedestrians until it is too late
  • Aggressive drivers

Bicycle Riders

For a bicycle rider, the reality is that every ride could be the one where you get seriously hurt. Any collision between a car or truck and a bicycle is one where the bike rider is going to suffer the greater harm. Even with most bike riders wearing helmets now, the risk of serious injury is substantial. From dooring to more serious accidents, we can help. You deserve representation that approaches your case with the idea that you were denied your fair share of the road, you were injured, and you deserve to be compensated.

Pedestrians

Pedestrians suffer many of the same risks as bike riders. Many drivers do not see them and when they do, they may drive aggressively. Pedestrians also lack really any protection at all against an impact with a motor vehicle. This can result in serious injuries such as:

  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
  • Amputations
