Hit-and-Run Bicycle Accidents in Miami
Miami sees a significant number of hit-and-run incidents, particularly in high-traffic areas where cyclists share the road with motor vehicles. Bicyclists are among the most vulnerable road users, as they lack the protective barriers available to drivers and passengers in vehicles. When a hit-and-run occurs, victims often face severe injuries and extended recovery periods, making it even more critical for authorities to locate the at-fault driver.
Florida law requires all drivers involved in a crash to remain at the scene and provide assistance when necessary. Fleeing the scene of an accident, especially one resulting in injuries, is a serious crime that can lead to felony charges. Unfortunately, many hit-and-run cases remain unsolved without witness accounts, surveillance footage, or other evidence to identify the responsible party.
For cyclists, staying aware of surroundings and using designated bike lanes can help reduce the risk of accidents. However, negligent drivers who speed, fail to yield, or drive distracted continue to pose a danger to those traveling on two wheels. Victims of hit-and-run crashes may face extensive medical costs, rehabilitation, and legal challenges in the aftermath.
