Why Are There So Many More Bike Accidents Today in Florida? 

There are more bikes on Florida roads these days than ever before. In our cities, many adults commute to work on their bikes. To facilitate the use of bicycles as a method of transportation, cities such as Stuart and Palm Beach have established protective lanes and pathways for bicyclists for added safety.

Unfortunately, many Treasure Coast motor vehicle drivers are not yet used to taking the mandated steps necessary to watch for, and yield to, the ever-increasing number of bikes on the road.

Have you been injured while biking in Florida or someone you love? You need to know your rights under the law. If you or someone you love have been injured while biking in Florida, you need to know your rights under the law. The Lewis Law Group, P.A., led by J.D. Lewis III, Esq., will help you decide the best course of action for your case.

Is the Car Driver Liable for a Bike Accident in Florida?

A car can cause harm to bicyclists on Florida roads in varied ways. It may be a car driver’s lack of attention, aggression, or belief that the car always has the right of way, or the driver’s failure to stop or yield. Unfortunately, drivers of vehicles often simply do not watch for bike riders or motorcycle riders. Despite the rules of the road, drivers do not allow the rider their rights.

What Compensation is Common for a Bicycle Accident?

When a victim is injured (suffers an injury) in a bicycle accident in Florida, they may be able to recover their medical expenses, future medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering among other things. In the event of a fatal bike accident, their families may be able to file additional claims for Wrongful Death.

Like any civil litigation, recoveries for bicycle accidents can be complicated. In most cases, the car driver involved in the bicycle accident will argue that the bike rider was at fault. There may even be intimidation to settle early and for less than you deserve from the driver’s attorney or insurance company. Without proper advice from an attorney working for you, who has experience in the laws created to protect bicycle riders, you may settle for less than you deserve. Obtain a fair recovery for your loss.
