Common Causes of Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents

Pedestrians and cyclists often suffer severe injuries when involved in traffic accidents. Some of the most common causes include:


  • Distracted driving, such as texting or using a phone
  • Speeding and reckless driving
  • Failure to yield at crosswalks or intersections
  • Drunk or impaired driving
  • Dooring accidents, when a parked driver opens their door into a cyclist’s path
  • Poorly maintained roads, bike lanes, or sidewalks


When a driver fails to exercise caution, pedestrians and cyclists suffer the consequences. Our firm is committed to holding negligent drivers accountable.

Who Can Be Held Liable in a Pedestrian or Bicycle Accident?

Determining liability in pedestrian and bicycle accidents depends on the specific circumstances of the crash. Responsible parties may include:


  • Negligent drivers who fail to yield or drive recklessly
  • Commercial vehicle operators who violate traffic laws
  • Government entities responsible for road maintenance and traffic signals
  • Property owners if unsafe conditions contributed to the accident


Even if the driver flees the scene or is uninsured, legal options may still be available. We explore all avenues to secure compensation for our clients.

What to Do After a Pedestrian or Bicycle Accident

Taking the right steps after an accident can help protect your rights and improve your case:

  1. Seek immediate medical attention, even if injuries are not obvious.
  2. Report the accident to law enforcement and request a police report.
  3. Take photos of the accident scene, including vehicle damage and road conditions.
  4. Get contact information from the driver and any witnesses.
  5. Avoid speaking with insurance companies before consulting a lawyer.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault?

    Yes. Florida follows comparative negligence laws, meaning you can still recover compensation, but your settlement may be reduced based on your level of fault.

  • What if the driver fled the scene?

    If the driver left the scene, you may still be able to recover damages through uninsured motorist coverage (UM/UIM) or other legal avenues.

  • How long do I have to file a claim?

    In Florida, you typically have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. If the claim involves a government entity, the time limit may be shorter.
