Hit-and-Run Bike Accidents, Uninsured or Underinsured Motorists
It is not uncommon for car drivers to leave the scene of a bike or pedestrian accident. Often, if the car driver is uninsured, or driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, they will not stick around until the police come. When a bicyclist is injured in a hit-and-run accident by a car, serious injury can occur. These accidents can happen in places such as residential areas, city streets and parking lots. Don't give up hope of recovering compensation for your injuries, even if you are filing against an uninsured or underinsured motorist. Our firm can help you find every possible avenue for collecting monetary damages.
Trail Riding Accidents
Formerly a CSX railroad right-of-way, the Pinellas Trail was converted to a paved recreational bicycle and pedestrian route that spans more than 34 miles and winds through Pinellas County and many cities, including Tarpon Springs, Crystal Beach, Palm Harbor, Dunedin, Largo, Clearwater, Seminole, St. Petersburg and South Pasadena. Thousands of people use the Pinellas Trail each week. Heavy recreational use combined with hundreds of intersection crossings result in a dangerous recipe for accidents. If you have been injured due to a bicycle or pedestrian crash, we can help.
Taking photographs of the scene is an important way to preserve evidence. Use your cell phone or pocket digital camera and get pictures from every angle.
