Pedestrian Accidents

Bike and Pedestrian Accidents in South Florida

Pedestrians, joggers, and bicyclists have a right to be on the road, yet their presence is often seen as an annoyance to operators of cars and trucks. Drivers seldom appreciate how vulnerable a walker or cyclist at the side of the road can be. They commonly fail to keep a proper lookout.

Injuries to pedestrians and bicyclists are usually serious or fatal

Pedestrians and bicycle riders hit by autos or large trucks usually face catastrophic results. They suffer severe internal injuries, head injuries, and spinal cord injuries. They are often killed. If this has happened to you or to a loved one, it is important to seek legal advice. Contact the South Florida law firm, Law Offices of Corey Leifer, PA, at 561.395.8055.
