Cape Coral has numerous areas where pedestrians and motorists may be in close quarters. Motorists must act cautiously to ensure that they do not strike one or more pedestrians in crosswalks and other high-risk areas.
Because pedestrians do not have the protection that a vehicle provides, they may suffer severe injuries when a vehicle hits them. If you or a loved one have suffered because of a pedestrian accident, you may want to hire a Cape Coral personal injury lawyer from the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine to fight for compensation on your behalf.
