Hurt in a Bike Accident in FL?

Get Compensated for a Bicycle Accident

Cyclists are susceptible to a wide range of injuries in a collision, whether they are directly struck by an automobile or are run off the road. Broken bones are common—the collarbone is fractured in a large number of cases. The rider may suffer severe road rash, as well as a traumatic brain injury, even when wearing a helmet. Spinal cord injuries may also occur.

Catastrophic Injury in Cycling Accidents

Bike accidents may not only keep riders out of their saddles for years or forever, but may even result in physical disability which will make it impossible for the cyclist to return to work.

According to statistics provided by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, 2010 saw nearly 5,000 reported bicycle crashes, 93% of which resulted in some form of injury to the rider. Many of these are caused by texting while driving and similar distracted behaviors, while others may be the result of reckless or aggressive driving, such as swerving into the bike lane or denying the right of way at an intersection.
