Bicycle Accidents – An Overview
Due to the low level of physical protection afforded to a bicyclist, even the most skilled rider faces significant danger if a motorist fails to share the road in a responsible manner. Many bicycle-motor vehicle collisions, which account for 33 percent of all bicycle accident injuries, result in traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury.
If you have been injured in a bicycle accident, you may be eligible to receive compensation for medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost income, and pain and suffering. You should not have to go it alone. Orlando, Florida bicycle accident lawyer Frank Eidson can help you obtain just compensation. Serving Kissimmee, Daytona Beach, Melbourne, and victims statewide, we can determine the true value of your case.
Common Bicycle Accident Causes
Motorists must exercise a reasonable amount of care while sharing a roadway with bicyclists. When they do not, catastrophic injuries can occur. Some common bicycle accident causes include:
- Failure to yield the right of way
- Speeding or reckless driving
- Failure to come to a stop at a traffic light or sign
- Failure to stop before turning right at a red light
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
Sometimes the cause of bicycle accident is not obvious. Our bicycle accident lawyers will look beyond the often oversimplified police report. When helpful, our accident reconstructionists will thoroughly investigate to find out whether another driver, poor road design, or a defective product caused or contributed to your injuries.
