Pedestrian And Cyclist Accidents In Orlando

November 25, 2019 by David R. Heil, PA

Have you been injured in a pedestrian or cycling accident? A new study has found that between 2008 and 2017, drivers struck and killed 49,340 people who were walking on streets across the U.S. While 5,433 of those people were in the state of Florida, 656 of those fatalities occurred in Central Florida. That means that Orlando, Sanford, and the Kissimmee metropolitan area are among the most dangerous places to walk. 

The more individuals participate in pedestrian activities, the greater the chances of getting hit by a car. Whether you were walking, jogging, or cycling, you should work with a skilled attorney who is experienced in investigating these accidents. David R. Heil, PA is a personal injury attorney in Central Florida who helps clients get the compensation they are entitled to. Learn more about these accidents and how to contact us below. 

About Pedestrian Accidents in Orlando

If you or a close family member have been injured while walking, running, or bicycling, it can be a stressful time. After getting the essential medical attention you need, your next step is to choose an attorney who understands the process and can guide you to a resolution. If your accident was the result of someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing, compensation can rightly cover medical bills, income lost due to trauma, and costs related to pain and suffering. 

If you are seeking the right attorney to handle a personal injury case, Heil Law with offices in Winter Park, DeLand, Orlando and Melbourne have handled many pedestrian and cyclist accidents. Many of these incidents occur as a result of a driver who: 

  • Texts while driving
  • Disobeys traffic laws
  • Engages in distracted behavior
  • Fails to yield to the right-of-way
  • Drives too close to pedestrians or bikes
  • Drives while intoxicated

When it comes to filing a lawsuit, it’s all about timing. When you wait too long before contacting an attorney, this can cause issues with receiving the settlement you need. Insurance companies may even lower the settlement amount. 

What To Do If You’re Injured

If you are involved in a pedestrian or cyclist accident in Orlando or Melbourne, try to get as much documentation as possible. Take photos, contact eyewitnesses, and get a trusted friend or family member to help you gather evidence. Try to include the details of your injuries and how they impact your daily life. This includes pain, discomfort, anxiety, and any time you had to take off from work. These notes could be useful when you put together the case for compensation. This documentation is easier and more reliable than remembering the details of the incident. For instance, if you need to spend the next year in physical therapy as a result of an injury or trauma, you shouldn’t have to pay out of your own pocket.
