Motor Vehicle Accidents
Compensation for Bike Accident Injuries
As gas prices continue to rise, more people are choosing the environmentally friendly and cost-effective option of cycling. Unfortunately, many drivers do not know how to properly share the road with cyclists, leading to accidents. Bicycle accidents result in over 50,000 injuries annually, and the size difference between a bicycle and a motor vehicle often leads to severe, life-altering injuries—or even death.
Bike Accident Statistics
A study by the Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center identified six common causes of bicycle crashes. When the bike and car are parallel, crashes often occur due to the motorist turning into the bicycle’s path, overtaking the cyclist, or, less frequently, the cyclist turning into the car’s path. When the bike and car are on crossing paths, the most common causes are motorists failing to yield the right-of-way at intersections, or cyclists failing to yield at intersections or mid-block locations.
Most bicycle accidents happen in urban areas, with 57% of bicycle-related fatalities occurring on major, heavily traveled roads. Driver inexperience or lack of education is considered one of the largest factors contributing to bicycle accidents.
If you are injured in a bicycle accident in Florida, seek immediate medical treatment and, if possible, collect information from the drivers and witnesses involved.
