Bicycle Accidents and Pedestrian Accidents

Were You or Your Child Struck by a Car?

The drivers who cause bike accidents and pedestrian accidents always blame the victim. Our attorneys know how to investigate these tragedies to prove that an inattentive or aggressive driver was primarily at fault.

The Law Offices of Brent C. Miller work to hold negligent drivers accountable for the severe injuries or fatalities that occur when bicyclists, pedestrians and children are run over by motor vehicles. Our experienced attorneys have a solid record of settlements and verdicts in past cases in Lake County, Citrus County and across Central Florida.

Call us immediately at 1-800-323-1243 for a free case evaluation. Early investigation to preserve evidence and interview witnesses greatly increases our ability to recover full compensation.

Bike Accidents and Pedestrian Accidents

We are very familiar with the typical outcome when an unprotected bike rider or pedestrian takes the brunt of the impact:

  • Head injury/brain injury
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Broken bones (arms, legs, pelvis)
  • Neck and back injuries
  • Lacerations and road rash

Our firm retains a variety of experts to calculate the needs of victims of permanent or catastrophic injuries, or to maximize damages for a wrongful death.

Proving Liability

If fault is disputed, we enlist accident reconstruction experts to examine the skid marks, debris, impact dents and other evidence to recreate the bike accident or pedestrian knockdown. We also seek out witnesses who can testify that the driver was speeding, turning without yielding, talking on a cell phone or otherwise distracted or negligent.

The defense may assert comparative fault (jaywalking, entering a crosswalk against the light, a child who rides into traffic), but, under Florida law, the driver still has an affirmative obligation to maintain a proper lookout. Personal injury trial lawyer Brent C. Miller is prepared to take your case to a jury to obtain justice.

We pursue all sources of insurance coverage to meet our clients' needs. For instance, if the driver fled the scene or was uninsured or underinsured, we can file a claim under the victim's auto policy or another source of coverage.
