Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents: A Growing Concern in Orlando
Orlando consistently ranks among the most dangerous cities in the nation for pedestrians and cyclists.
High-speed traffic, sprawling intersections, distracted drivers, and limited infrastructure create daily risks for:
- People crossing streets on foot
- Cyclists using bike lanes or roadways
- Children walking to school
- Joggers, recreational walkers, and commuters
When vehicles collide with unprotected individuals, the injuries are often life-altering.

Common Causes of Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents
Many pedestrian and bicycle accidents are caused by driver negligence, including:
- Failure to yield the right of way at crosswalks
- Distracted driving (texting, phone use, GPS)
- Speeding, especially in residential areas
- Running red lights or stop signs
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Making unsafe turns without checking for pedestrians or cyclists
- Aggressive driving and unsafe passing
We thoroughly investigate the cause of every accident to hold the responsible parties accountable.
Common Injuries in Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents
Pedestrians and bicyclists have little protection in a collision, leading to severe and sometimes catastrophic injuries, such as:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Multiple fractures and broken bones
- Road rash and severe abrasions
- Internal bleeding and organ damage
- Facial injuries and dental trauma
- Amputations
- Psychological trauma (PTSD, anxiety)
We work with medical experts to ensure every aspect of your injuries — both physical and emotional — is fully documented.

FAQs – Orlando Pedestrian and Bicycle Accident Cases
You may still have a valid claim. Drivers have a general duty to exercise reasonable care and avoid hitting pedestrians.
In some cases, your own auto PIP insurance can cover medical expenses, even if you were not driving. We help determine all coverage options.
You may be able to pursue an uninsured motorist claim through your own insurance, or we may work with law enforcement to identify the driver.
There’s no upfront cost. We only get paid if we recover compensation for you — and our fees are structured to be lower and more client-friendly.
