Bicycle Accidents in Florida
Bicycle accidents are a growing concern in Florida, particularly in busy urban areas like Miami. With high volumes of vehicle and pedestrian traffic, cyclists often face significant risks on the road. Many crashes involving bicyclists result from driver inattention, failure to yield, or hazardous road conditions.
Florida law provides protections for cyclists, including designated bike lanes and right-of-way rules. However, accidents still occur, often leading to serious injuries. Cyclists should always wear protective gear, use lights or reflective clothing at night, and remain aware of their surroundings.
In cases where a cyclist is injured due to a driver’s negligence, legal options may be available to seek compensation for medical expenses and other damages. Speaking with a knowledgeable professional can help injured victims understand their rights and navigate the recovery process.
