Bicycle Accidents in Florida
Florida is known for its year-round cycling-friendly climate, but it also ranks among the states with the highest number of bicycle accidents. Urban areas like Edison see frequent bicycle collisions due to heavy traffic, distracted driving, and inadequate cycling infrastructure.
Data from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) shows that bicycle crashes often result in severe injuries due to the lack of physical protection for cyclists. Common injuries in such accidents include fractures, head trauma, and spinal damage. While safety measures such as helmets and reflective gear can help reduce the risk, they cannot prevent all injuries caused by negligent drivers.
Cyclists involved in accidents may face financial burdens due to medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs. Florida law allows injured cyclists to seek compensation if another party’s negligence contributed to the crash. Consulting with a legal professional can help victims understand their rights and the potential for financial recovery.
