Free consultation. No fees unless we win. Lower fee options available.
Why Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents Are So Serious
When a 3,000-pound vehicle strikes a pedestrian or bicyclist, the result is often catastrophic.
Jacksonville’s sprawling roads, limited bike lanes, and busy intersections make walking and biking dangerous, particularly in areas such as:
- Downtown Jacksonville
- Riverside and Avondale
- San Marco
- Southside and Baymeadows
- Beaches area (Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach, Atlantic Beach)
Drivers who are careless, distracted, or reckless can cause life-altering injuries to pedestrians and cyclists.

FAQs – Jacksonville Pedestrian and Bicycle Accident Cases
Yes. Drivers still have a duty to exercise reasonable care. Crossing outside of a crosswalk may impact your case, but does not bar recovery.
If you own a car and have a Florida PIP policy, it may provide benefits even if you were walking or biking at the time of the crash.
You may still have options through uninsured motorist (UM) coverage or other insurance policies. We pursue all potential sources of recovery.
There’s no upfront cost. We only get paid if we recover compensation for you — and our fee structure is designed to be lower and more client-focused.
