Bicycle riding is a popular pastime in Florida, and whether it is done for sport, recreation, exercise or pleasure, it can pose a danger to the cyclist – especially when riding on a road shared with automobiles and other motor vehicles. Accidents are an unfortunate circumstance, and if you or a loved one has been injured in a bicycle/bike accident, we know that this is a difficult time of healing.
Our West Palm Beach bike accident lawyers have a proven record in litigating bicycle accident cases and obtaining recovery amounts for the victim. The injuries incurred in a bicycle accident can range from broken bones and dislocated limbs to more serious afflictions such as spinal cord and traumatic brain injuries. In some cases, the accident is fatal to the cyclist, and it is their family who our injury attorneys can assist.
How Bike Accidents Occur
To protect drivers and cyclists, changes have been made and continue to be made to roadways with the addition of bicycle lanes, but this alone will not prevent accidents from occurring. An estimated one million bicycle accidents happen each year, and about half of those injured are children under the age of 16. The most common causes of bicycle accidents in Palm Beach Gardens are negligence and inattentiveness on the part of the motorist. Bicycles and motor vehicles are required to share the road and follow the same traffic laws, but as the accident statistics prove, this isn’t always the case.
