Bicycle Accidents

A bicycle accident claim allows injured cyclists to seek compensation when they’re hurt due to someone else’s negligence, whether by a motorist, pedestrian, or unsafe road conditions. Bicyclists are especially vulnerable on the road, and even minor accidents can lead to serious injuries like fractures, head trauma, and spinal fractures. In Florida, cyclists have the same rights as drivers and can pursue compensation for damages when another party is at fault.

Who Should File a Claim and Why Having an Attorney Is Essential

• Benefits of Filing: Filing a claim allows cyclists to cover their medical expenses, lost wages, and other costs resulting from the accident. Many cyclists also need financial support for long-term care or rehabilitation, especially in cases of severe injury.
• Consequences Without Representation: Insurance companies often minimize bicycle accident claims or try to blame cyclists for the accident. Without a knowledgeable attorney, cyclists risk receiving low settlements or facing claim denials. Additionally, Florida has a four-year statute of limitations for bicycle accident claims, so filing promptly is essential to preserving your right to compensation.
