South Florida Bicycle Accident Attorneys

If you ride your bike on a regular basis, either for pleasure or for commuting, you probably are aware that drivers on the road are not always safe, and that every time you ride your bike, you are taking your life in your hands.

Even if you bike safely, wear a helmet, and follow traffic laws, it is impossible to predict the actions of others on the road. If the driver of a car makes a dangerous move, and you are hit and injured as a result, our bicycle accident lawyers at Brubaker Injury Law can help you understand what comes next.

Causes of Bicycle Accidents

Most bicycle accidents occur because of an error committed by either the cyclist or the driver, or sometimes a combination of both. Common errors include:

• Failure to yield
• Illegal lane change
• Turning right without stopping/yielding to a cyclist turning straight
• Distracted driving
• Drunk driving
• Aggressive driving
• Intentionally following a cyclist, or passing a cyclist, too closely to incite fear or “send a message”
• Speeding

When a cyclist is struck by a motorist, their injuries are often severe and range from head injuries to broken bones to psychological injuries and more. In order to recover compensation for these injuries, a cyclist must establish that their injuries would not have been incurred by the actions of the driver.

Recovering Compensation After a Crash

Our bicycle accident attorneys can help you to prove that you deserve to be compensated after a crash. We investigate your claim from start to finish, build your case, and work with insurance adjusters to negotiate a fair settlement. We strive to recover all the compensation you deserve, including damages for your:

• Medical expenses
• Property damage
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering

We do not back down when representing you. We know what you are going through and the losses you have suffered, and we want to ensure that you receive the compensation amount that you deserve.

We can also help to defend you against any accusations of fault brought up by the defense, which could have a negative effect on the amount of compensation that you are legally allowed to recover under Florida’s comparative negligence laws.
