Understanding Bicycle Accident Claims in Florida

Bicycle accident claims arise when a cyclist is injured due to the negligence of a motorist, a property owner, or another party. These cases often involve unique challenges, including disputes about fault, insurance coverage, and road safety laws that protect cyclists.

Injuries from bike accidents can be severe, ranging from broken bones and road rash to spinal injuries and traumatic brain injuries. Because cyclists are exposed and unprotected, even a low-speed collision can be catastrophic. Kris Torres has the experience to investigate, gather evidence, and fight for full accountability from those responsible.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if the driver says they didn’t see me?

That’s one of the most common defenses, and it doesn’t excuse their negligence. Drivers are responsible for being aware of cyclists and sharing the road.

What if I wasn’t wearing a helmet?

You may still be entitled to compensation. Florida law doesn’t require helmets for all adults, and not wearing one does not automatically make you at fault.

Can I file a claim if it was a hit-and-run?

Yes. Kris will explore options through your uninsured motorist coverage or other legal avenues.

How long do I have to file a claim?

Florida’s statute of limitations for bicycle accident claims is generally two years, but it’s best to act as soon as possible.
