Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents Are a Serious Problem in Tampa
Tampa consistently ranks as one of the more dangerous metropolitan areas in the United States for pedestrians and cyclists.
Contributing factors include:

Whether downtown, near the beaches, or in suburban neighborhoods, the risks are real — and serious injuries are unfortunately common.

FAQs – Tampa Pedestrian and Bicycle Accident Cases
Yes. Florida law requires drivers to exercise reasonable care, even if a pedestrian is not in a marked crosswalk.
If you have a Florida auto insurance policy with PIP coverage, you may be eligible for benefits — even though you weren’t driving at the time.
You may still recover compensation through uninsured motorist coverage or through investigations that identify the at-fault driver.
There’s no upfront cost. We only get paid if we recover compensation — and our contingency fees are structured to be lower and more client-friendly.
