Florida bicycle and pedestrian accidents are some of the worst types of wrecks we encounter. Not only are they common as a result of drivers not seeing or respecting the rights of others on the road. They are also very dangerous.
Bicyclists and pedestrians do not have the same protection that those driving or riding in other vehicles have. When a bicyclist or pedestrian is involved in a
Florida car accident, even a minor one, the consequences can still be severe.
Bicyclists and pedestrians are often injured or even killed in
Florida car accidents. They may sustain broken bones or dislocations, back or neck injuries, or even head or brain injuries. These injuries may take years to fully heal, requiring extensive medical treatment along the way.
The ways in which drivers cause
Florida bicycle and pedestrian accidents can vary. Some of the common ones include:
- Swerving into a bicyclists
- Turning in front of an oncoming bike
- Failing to yield right-of-way in a crosswalk
- Jumping the curb onto a sidewalk
All these instances can have disastrous consequences for those involved. Negligent drivers, who knowingly or unknowingly violate the rules of the road, can cause serious injuries or loss of life in Florida car wrecks.
Those injured in Florida car wrecks by negligent drivers have legal rights. Bicyclists and pedestrians can seek financial compensation for their injuries and related costs, recovering damages to fix a problem caused by someone else.
