Motorcycle Accident That Killed Florida Deputy a Common and Tragic Theme

June 4, 2012

The motorcycle accident that claimed the life of a Pinellas County Sheriff’s Deputy inspired a local group of riders to speak out in an effort to raise awareness about the scope of motorcycle accident problems in our state. The deputy was killed when a car turned directly into his path, giving him no time to avoid striking the car broadside. The group claims that these types of accidents are far too common, and Orlando motorcycle accident attorney James O. Cunningham completely agrees with them. Since he began practicing law in 1977, he has assisted countless riders injured in accidents where a driver has violated the right of way by pulling out in front of a rider.
