Fort Lauderdale Bicycle Accident Attorneys
Fort Lauderdale Lawyers for Injured Cyclists
Cycling is an economical and eco-friendly option for travel, as well as a fun way to stay in shape. However, reading a bicycle can be hazardous - particularly on the roads of South Florida. All too often when sharing the road with bicycles, drivers make errors or fail to take the proper steps to protect the safety of cyclists. Driver negligence can lead to dangerous bicycle accidents, and cyclists are likely to be seriously injured in these types of collisions.

South Florida Counsel for Bicycle Accidents
The federal government estimates that annually, approximately 1,000 cyclists lose their lives in collisions with motor vehicles that take place across the country. Furthermore, nearly 500,000 non-fatal injuries occur in bike accidents on an annual basis. In Florida alone, hundreds of bicycle riders suffer injuries and dozens die in collisions with vehicles each year.
Unfortunately, it can be difficult for drivers to notice and respond to bicycles due to their small size. If a motorist does not focus on the road as they should, cyclists are at risk of suffering serious injuries, and in these cases, a negligent driver may be held liable for distracted driving. A bicyclist is likely to suffer severe or catastrophic injuries in a collision with a car or truck. Some common bicycle accident injuries include:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spine injuries that may result in paralysis or other long-term or permanent impairments
- Nerve damage
- Fractured bones
- Severe cuts, lacerations, and bruises
- Soft tissue injuries, including torn ligaments, dislocated joints, sprains, or muscle strains
