Naples / Ft. Myers / Port Charlotte / Bonita Springs Bicycle Accidents Lawyers
We take many steps to protect pedestrians and bicyclists on our roads. We have rules on how to safely deal with them while they are on the road. We have things like sidewalks, crosswalks, and guardrails to provide extra safety. Even our rules are made to protect pedestrians. According to state law, pedestrians should always be given the right of way. Even when they are j-walking or holding up traffic, there is no legitimate time when a driver will get away with hitting a pedestrian. Regardless of these precautions, there are still far too many victims of automobile accidents that were not in an automobile.
The human body is built to endure, but it is still no match for two tons of steel. Protection of the rights of these victims is imperative, and victims should consult with an experienced Fort Myers personal injury lawyer as soon as they or a loved one is safe enough to do so. Oftentimes these accidents prove to have catastrophic injuries, such as burn injury, brain injury and spinal cord injury, and the sooner you can speak to one of our attorney's, the better your chances are of receiving adequate coverage and representation.
