Tampa Bicycle Accident Attorneys
According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, nearly 1,000 cyclists and pedestrians are injured or killed each year just in Hillsborough County! In many of these tragedies, a motorist was at fault:
- Failure to yield when turning left at an intersection
- Cutting off a bicyclist when turning right
- Rolling stop or proceeding from stop sign without looking
- Running a red light or stop sign
- Pulling out or backing out from a parking lot, side street or driveway
- Clipping or bumping people in crosswalks
- Sideswiping or rear-ending bicycles on the street
- Drifting into a bicyclist, walker or jogger on the shoulder of a road
In addition to traffic violations, pedestrian and bicycle accidents usually trace to aggressive driving in populated areas, cell phone use or texting while driving, other distractions or driver intoxication.
The driver and his or her auto insurance carrier will often claim that the victim was out of the crosswalk, darted into traffic, crossed against the traffic light or otherwise caused an unavoidable collision. We focus on the careless or reckless actions of those drivers and their duty to proceed cautiously in areas where children and foot traffic are expected.
