Common Causes of Bike Accidents in Florida

When a negligent motorist makes the decision to drive above the speed limit, talk on their phone while driving, drive under the influence, or engage in reckless behavior while behind the wheel, they put everyone else at risk – including the bicyclists who share the road.

In many cases, bicycle accidents are caused by negligent motorists who:

• Fail to yield to bicyclists at intersections
• Fail to stop at red lights or stop signs
• Drive in designated bike lanes
• Turn directly in front of a bicyclist
• Engage in distracted driving behavior
• Drive while under the influence
• Open their door in the path of a bicyclist
• Don’t leave enough room for a bicyclist

What You Should Do After a Bicycle Accident

If you were hit by a motor vehicle while riding your bike, the first thing you should do is contact an attorney. Many times, drivers and their insurance companies will try to blame the bicyclist for causing an accident—especially if the accident was serious. You shouldn’t let the insurance company intimidate you into thinking that the accident was your fault. Instead, you should avoid giving a statement about the accident until you have had the chance to consult a lawyer from The Florida Law Group. We can ensure your rights are protected!

To summarize, here are the steps you should take after a bicycle accident:

• Call the police if the accident was serious
• Seek medical attention as soon as possible
• Take pictures of the scene of the accident
• Get contact information from any witnesses
• Keep your bike unrepaired to use as evidence
• Contact our Tampa personal injury lawyers

- Renee, Tampa, FL

Got rear-ended at a red light by a truck! Did not know so many things would be affecting my body and my mind. just couldn't believe I was injured, thought I could just shake it off. My lawyer Chris explained to me, that things would be happening to my body at different times. It was really hard to hear that but he assured me he would fight the insurance company to get me what I deserve for my injuries. I believe him.
