Florida Bicycle Accident Laws Are Meant to Protect Bicyclists

What to Do After You or a Loved One Are Injured in a Bicycle Accident in Florida

The most important step that you need to take following a bicycle accident is to obtain a complete medical examination. There are several hidden injuries that transpire in bike accidents. For example, a cyclist might have sustained a brain bleed injury. If you or your loved one have been injured or killed in a bike accident, first call 911, and then contact our firm at (954) 752-1110 to help you understand your legal and to help gather important accident-related evidence. We are available 24/7 to take your call

When you call our firm for assistance following a bicycle accident with injuries, our legal professionals can begin the process of collecting important bicycle accident evidence, speaking with the law enforcement officers, interviewing witnesses, and taking photographs of the bicycle accident scene. Our attorneys ensure that your legal rights are protected and we can make sure your voice is heard in the bicycle accident report created by the responding police officers. Our bicycle injury attorneys also help protect you from saying things to the insurance company that could damage your bicycle claim.

After a bicycle crash, it is important that you avoid discussing the accident with any other people at the scene. Never apologize, and never admit fault for the bicycle accident. It is important that you remember that anything you say can and will likely be used to diminish or deny your bicycle accident injury or wrongful death case. It is very important to avoid posting on social media because all photos and comments can be examined and there is no privacy even if your account is private. Those photos and comments could damage your bicycle accident claim.

When speaking to police officers at the scene of the bicycle collision, you should not exaggerate the facts of the accident or lie to officers. However, it is best to have retained or spoken to an attorney prior to speaking to anyone to protect your legal rights.

Establishing Fault and Negligence in Your Florida Bicycle Accident Injury Case

To win a Bicycle accident case, the victim’s attorney must prove to the court that the other party’s decisions and actions were negligent and caused the bike accident resulting in injuries or death.

Florida’s Theory of Negligence, proving negligence is comprised of three elements:

Duty of Care

The at-fault driver owed the victim a Duty of Care to drive safely and not cause an accident. In a bicycle accident lawsuit, the most essential question to answer is, “How much care was reasonably expected?” In Florida, motorists must obey the law and avoid hitting other motorists and pedestrians. 

Breach of Duty

The next element in proving negligence is proving the at-fault driver breached their Duty of Care. If the driver of the vehicle that hit you was driving while intoxicated, that driver violated the law and this is a clear Breach of Duty. 

Causation

Once your bicycle accident lawyer has proved that the driver had a “Duty of Care” and the driver breached that duty, your attorney must establish the driver’s Breach of Duty caused the bicycle accident resulting in new injuries and/or death.
