Nighttime Bike & Pedestrian Crashes on Florida Roads: How “Visibility” Arguments Are Used by Insurers and How We Counter Them
Andrew Pickett Law handles bicycle incidents and pedestrian crash cases across Florida, and nighttime cases nearly always arrive with a predictable defense theme: visibility. The insurer says the pedestrian was wearing dark clothing. The bicyclist allegedly lacked proper lights. The road was poorly lit. The driver “just could not see” the person in time. Sometimes ...

Pedestrians Hit in Parking Lots vs. Crosswalks: Why These Claims Are Treated Differently and How Video Footage Changes Everything
Andrew Pickett Law represents pedestrians and families after serious injury and wrongful death events throughout Florida. One issue that surprises people is how differently a pedestrian claim may be analyzed depending on where the impact occurred. A marked crosswalk on a public road is one thing. A parking lot in front of a grocery store, ...

FMCSA Withdrew the Federal Speed-Limiter Rule: What That Means (and Doesn’t Mean) for Truck Crash Claims in Florida
Andrew 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. ...

Bicycle “Dooring” Crashes in Florida: The Overlooked Claim Type That Can Involve Both the Driver and the Property/Employer
Andrew 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 ...

Commercial Vehicle “Wide Turns” and Squeeze Crashes: The Liability Playbook When a Truck Takes the Lane You’re Already In
Andrew Pickett Law handles truck accident cases across Florida, and few crash types are more misunderstood than the so-called wide-turn squeeze crash. A large truck begins a turn, another road user is already present in the adjacent space or lane, and the truck’s movement closes that space until a car, motorcycle, bicycle, or pedestrian is ...

Motorcycle Lane Positioning & “I Didn’t See You” Defenses: How Florida Fault Is Actually Proven After a Left-Turn Collision
Andrew Pickett Law represents injured motorcyclists and families throughout Florida, and few crash scenarios generate more blame-shifting than the classic left-turn collision. A driver turns across the rider’s path, the rider goes down hard, and within minutes the same explanation appears: “I just didn’t see the motorcycle.” It sounds apologetic. It also sounds ordinary. Legally, ...

Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) Is Becoming Standard: What Florida Crash Victims Should Know About Vehicle Data, Sensor Failures, and Recall Clues
Andrew Pickett Law handles serious Florida crash cases with an eye toward the evidence most people never think about until it is too late. In a modern vehicle, that evidence may include far more than a police report and a few photos. Cars now record pre-impact data, track certain system states, and rely on cameras, ...

Operation “Best Foot Forward” Enforcement Weeks: What Florida Drivers Get Wrong About Yielding at Crosswalks
Andrew Pickett Law represents pedestrians, cyclists, and families harmed by preventable traffic violence across Florida. One of the clearest truths in pedestrian accident cases is also one of the most frustrating: many drivers still do not understand basic crosswalk duties. Not after all the public campaigns. Not after the signage. Not after the warning lights. ...
