Description
One common source of personal injury is vehicular accidents caused by negligent driving. Car accidents, truck accidents, and motorcycle accidents take place on United States roadways each day. The Association for Safe International Road Travel reported that as many as 37,000 people are killed in traffic accidents in the United States every year, and according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, more than 3,000 people lost their lives in traffic collisions in 2017 in Florida alone. Many of these fatal accidents could have been prevented if not for the negligent actions of the at-fault parties.
Pedestrians and people who ride bicycles are arguably some of the most vulnerable people on the road. Cyclists and pedestrians have few protections in the event of an accident, unlike motor vehicles that have steel frames, airbag technology, and safety belts there to keep them safe in a crash. Accidents involving motor vehicles and pedestrians or motor vehicles and bicyclists can be devastating for these individuals, resulting in severe injuries or even fatal injuries. Even bicycle helmets can only provide so much protection when a cyclist is involved in a crash with a large vehicle such as a truck or bus. If you were hurt while walking or cycling, the Fort Lauderdale personal injury attorneys at Vladimir Tsirkin & Associates, P.A. can help you file a civil court claim.
