Ocala Auto Accident Lawyer
It may come as a surprise, but annual worldwide traffic deaths outnumber all deaths caused by war and violence, according to Progressive Economy. Put another way, worldwide traffic deaths also outnumber all fatalities caused by Malaria, HIV, and Tuberculosis, according to The Telegraph. Here in the U.S., over 40,000 people die in traffic collisions annually, according to Bloomberg, while millions more are injured. Our transportation system has only become more dangerous in the last decade, as vehicle sizes, speed limits, and driver distraction have all increased. As a victim of an auto collision, you deserve to be compensated fairly for your damages. Whether you are a victim yourself or a loved one of the person who was injured or killed, the Ocala auto accident lawyers of The Pendas Law Firm are here to offer professional legal services during your pursuit for civil justice.
All Types of Auto Collisions Can End in Traumatic Injury or Tragedy
We represent the victims of all types of traffic collisions. Our attorneys can help you maximize your compensation whether you were the driver of a car, a pedestrian, a cyclist, or a motorcyclist during the time of the crash.
- Car Collisions—Car collisions are the most common type of traffic collision due to the high number of cars, pickup trucks, vans, and SUVs on the road. Among medical bills and pain and suffering, property damage is often a major component of minor to moderate car collision damages.
- Truck Collisions—Being involved in a truck collision is a terrifying experience. Whether you were hit by a semi-truck, moving truck, or cement mixing truck, the result is usually the same—severe and catastrophic injuries.
- Pedestrian Injuries—Pedestrians are being run down at an alarming rate as drivers spend an increasing percent of time staring down at their phones as the speed along roads, roll through stop signs, and distractedly wait at stop lights. Not seeing a pedestrian is not a valid excuse for a driver who hits a person.
- Bicyclist Injuries—Driver road rage and impatience are common causes of crashes in which cyclists are the victim. Drivers are also frequently distracted, and may use the excuse of “they came out of nowhere” when they hit cyclists who, after all, had a legal right to be on the road.
- Motorcycle Collisions—Like pedestrian and cyclist collisions, motorcycle collisions usually end in severe injuries, or death, of the motorcyclist, while the driver of the car or truck remains uninjured. Also like pedestrians and cyclists, motorcyclists are at an inherent disadvantage when it comes to settlement or trial, as many people have an unfair and inaccurate bias against motorcyclists.
