Andrew Pickett Law represents pedestrians and families after serious injury and wrongful death events throughout Florida. One issue that surprises…
Read Full ArticleAndrew Pickett Law represents people and families devastated by truck accidents in Florida, and federal trucking news often creates confusion in active claims. One example is FMCSA’s withdrawal of the long-discussed federal speed-limiter rule. To a defense lawyer, that announcement can sound useful: no federal mandate, no problem. That is not how truck litigation works. ...
Read MoreAndrew Pickett Law represents cyclists and families injured in preventable traffic crashes, and bicycle dooring cases are often underestimated from the first phone call. People hear “someone opened a car door” and picture a low-speed nuisance claim. That picture is badly incomplete. A dooring crash can throw a cyclist over the bars, drive the rider ...

Not after the signage. Not after the warning lights. ...
Read MoreAndrew Pickett Law handles pedestrian incidents and bicycle injury claims across Florida, and one pattern appears again and again: a crossing is “improved,” the public assumes it is now safe, and drivers still fail to stop. That failure may happen at a pedestrian hybrid beacon, a rapid-flashing crossing, or another upgraded treatment on a wide ...
Read MoreAndrew Pickett Law represents people seriously injured in Florida motor vehicle, pedestrian, and bicycle crashes, and school-zone cases carry a different kind of urgency. When a child is hurt, or when a driver barrels through a school corridor in Melbourne, Palm Bay, Cocoa, or Titusville, the facts tend to matter in a very compressed time ...
