Other Personal Injuries

If you've been injured and it wasn't your fault, we can help you recover compensation regardless of the type of accident. Our experienced attorneys have recovered over $50 million for clients injured in all types of accidents.

Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrians struck by vehicles often suffer catastrophic injuries due to the lack of protection:

• Crosswalk Accidents - Drivers failing to yield to pedestrians in marked crosswalks
• Intersection Collisions - Turn signal violations, red light running
• Parking Lot Accidents - Vehicles backing up, distracted drivers in parking areas
• Hit and Run Crashes - Drivers fleeing after striking pedestrians
• Distracted Driving - Texting while driving causing pedestrian injuries
• DUI Drivers - Impaired drivers hitting pedestrians
• Failure to Yield - Drivers not giving pedestrians right-of-way

Pedestrians have right-of-way in many situations. Drivers who fail to yield are liable for resulting injuries.

Bicycle Accidents

Cyclists are vulnerable road users who deserve protection:

• Dooring Accidents - Car doors opening into bike lanes or path
• Right Hook and Left Cross - Turning vehicles cutting off cyclists
• Distracted Drivers - Texting and driving causing bicycle collisions
• Failure to Maintain Safe Distance - Vehicles passing too close to cyclists
• Unsafe Road Conditions - Potholes, debris, poor road maintenance

Florida and Alabama laws protect cyclists. Drivers must share the road safely and give adequate passing distance.

Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Elderly residents in nursing homes and assisted living facilities deserve proper care:

• Physical Abuse - Staff hitting, pushing, or physically harming residents
