Injured in an Accident in Fort Myers?
Fort Myers sits along the Caloosahatchee River, and much of its traffic pattern is shaped by the handful of crossings and interchanges that funnel the whole region together — the Edison Bridge carrying US 41 into downtown, and the I-75 interchanges at Colonial Boulevard and Daniels Parkway, both recently rebuilt as diverging diamond interchanges to handle growing volume.
Away from the interstate, McGregor Boulevard’s historic, palm-lined stretch past the Edison and Ford Winter Estates carries a steady mix of local, tourist and event traffic, while the Fort Myers River District draws pedestrians and diners into a compact downtown grid. If you were hurt in a Fort Myers-area accident, Swift Attorney can help you understand a sensible next step — free of charge, any time of day or night.
Available 24/7. Free to contact. No pressure, no obligation.
“I was hit by an uninsured driver and was terrified about covering medical bills. They found me a doctor same day and an attorney who handled everything. Zero out of pocket.”

Local Context
Common Accident Situations in Fort Myers
I-75 interchange congestion at Colonial & Daniels
Peak-hour backups at these two interchanges are a common setting for rear-end and multi-vehicle collisions, even with recent diverging-diamond upgrades.
Edison Bridge crossing traffic
US 41 traffic crossing the Caloosahatchee River between North Fort Myers and downtown can back up quickly, especially during peak commute hours.
Downtown River District pedestrian traffic
The historic downtown core draws heavy foot traffic to restaurants and galleries alongside vehicle and event traffic, raising pedestrian-accident risk.
McGregor Boulevard tourist and event traffic
Visitors driving to the Edison and Ford Winter Estates and other attractions along McGregor Boulevard are often unfamiliar with the road, a factor in turning and lane-change collisions.

Fort Myers Accident Questions
I was in a crash at the Colonial Boulevard or Daniels Parkway interchange with I-75. Does the recent construction change anything?

My accident happened on the Edison Bridge. Does the exact direction of travel matter?
It can help to know which direction you were heading and roughly where on the bridge, since that affects which agency responded. Share what you remember.
