Bicycle Accident

Unfortunately, bicycle accidents in Florida are pretty common. If a motor vehicle driver fails to follow the law or carelessly ignores a bicyclist on the road, accidents usually happen. Very quickly, a driver’s negligence can cause a collision that leaves a bicyclist with severe injuries such as cuts, broken bones, head and spinal injuries, paralysis, or even death. If you or someone you know has been injured as a result of a bicycle accident, consult with an experienced Florida Bicycle Accident Attorney such as Adolphe Law Group soon after the accident.

The Role of Legal Representation in Florida Bicycle Accident Liability Cases

Liability for bicycle accidents requires legal representation to prove negligence on the part of the automobile driver. Determining fault in negligence cases such as bicycle accidents can often be difficult. Important factors include whether the car driver’s negligence caused the cyclist’s injuries and whether any negligence by the cyclist caused or contributed to the accident. Negligence by a driver includes many behaviors. For example, excessive speed, running a stop sign, and drifting into a bike lane are all considered driver negligence or recklessness.

In a lawsuit alleging negligence by a driver, plaintiffs must prove that the defendant operated their vehicle in a way that violated a privilege owed to the plaintiff. In auto/bicycle accident cases, this means disregarding the basic duty of care owed to cyclists on the road. Accident lawsuits involving cyclists usually need eyewitness testimony submitted to the court in order to prove negligence.
