South Florida is full a cities with cars and heavy traffic. Florida streets were designed to move cars and trucks as quickly as possible for this reason. Traffic congestion defeats that goal, convincing many residents to use bicycles as an alternative form of transportation or even simply for fitness reasons.

When bicycle lanes exist, some drivers use them as traffic lanes or turn right without checking to see whether the lane is occupied.

Typically, the most common cause of bicycle accidents are when drivers of automobiles (cars, trucks, and buses) fail to see or fail to yield to bicyclists. And when motor vehicles collide with bicycles, the results can be devastating to the bicyclists.

When bicycle accidents are caused by careless drivers, bike riders are entitled to compensation for their injuries. According to the NHTSA, in 2018 there were a total of 857 bicyclists killed in traffic collisions, in the United States.

Have You Been The Victim of an Accident?

There are many factors which affect the severity and type of injury a cyclist sustains such as:

Impact direction and type
Involvement of motor vehicles
Road conditions
Speed
Surrounding terrain
The level of body protection a cyclist wears

Bicyclists who are injured in an accident where a car is involved can suffer serious, life threatening injuries which may result in costly medical bills. The severity of most bicycle accident injuries is due to the fact that the nature of bike riding leaves bicyclists much less physically protected from harm. In addition to death, bicycle-related injuries can result in severe injuries.
