Bicycle Accidents in Florida
Bicyclists face significant risks when sharing the road with motor vehicles, particularly in busy urban areas like Miami. Florida consistently ranks among the states with the highest number of bicycle accidents, with many crashes resulting in serious injuries or fatalities.
Collisions between cyclists and vehicles often occur due to driver inattention, failure to yield, or dangerous road conditions. Even with protective gear, cyclists are vulnerable to head injuries, fractures, and internal trauma when struck by a vehicle.
To improve safety, both drivers and cyclists must remain alert and follow traffic laws. Motorists should check blind spots, yield to cyclists at intersections, and maintain a safe passing distance.
