Bicycle Accident Lawyer

Our Southwest Florida region provides many biking trails and roadways to enjoy this pastime. Recreational bicycling has gained a surge of popularity in recent years; however, our congested roadways (especially during season), parking restrictions, and the high cost of commuting have also made bicycling an inexpensive and convenient mode of transportation.

Many bicycle riders, regardless of experience level, seem unaware how to safely and legally share the roads with automobiles, and vehicle drivers often do not respect bicyclists' right to share the road. This has resulted in an increase in serious, often fatal injuries to bicyclist.

Nearly a million children are injured in bicycle accidents each year in the U.S. and every six hours a bicyclist is fatally injured. Bicycle related accidents due to collisions with automobiles accounts for the majority of catastrophic injuries, of which 75% are head injury and brain injury.

In Florida, children are required to wear a protective helmet at all times when riding a bicycle; however, these bicycle helmets provide minimal protection, and virtually no protection when involved in a collision with a car.

If you or a loved one has suffered a serious personal injury or death resulting from a bicycle accident, then contact one of our Florida accident attorneys to discuss your bicycle accident claim. If we agree to represent you, we may file a bicycle accident lawsuit on your behalf to help you recover damages for those serious injuries.
