Avoiding Bicycle Accidents
Bicycle accidents often result in very serious injuries and even death. In Florida, bicycle riders are twice as likely to get into a fatal accident than in any other state in the country. When your bicycle accident is the result of a preventable act or someone else’s negligence, you are entitled to recover for your injuries.
Under Florida law, cyclists have the same rights as motorists when seeking damages for personal injury and property damage. Cyclists, just like pedestrians and auto drivers and passengers can recover restitution from insurance companies.
