Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents
While some bicycle accidents result from cyclists’ mistakes, most are caused by the negligence of others.
Some of the most common causes of bicycle accidents include:
- Speeding
- Distracted driving
- Texting while driving
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Failure to yield the right of way
- Passing or following too closely
- Driving in a designated bicycle lane
- Failure to share the road with cyclists
- Aggressive/reckless driving
- Failure to stop at red lights/stop signs
While these examples represent some of the many ways in which negligent motorists frequently cause bicycle accidents, crashes can happen for a multitude of other reasons, as well. Bicyclists are often injured when roadways are in poor condition or have been defectively designed. They can also crash when loose dogs or other animals run across their paths, or when motorists carelessly open car doors into bike lanes. Cyclists can even become involved in major crashes with other bicyclists or pedestrians who are not paying attention to their surroundings.
Compensation for Injured Bicyclists
When another person or party is careless, reckless, or negligent, injured bicyclists have the right to file personal injury claims and seek fair compensation for their damages.
Depending on the specific details of your situation, our Orange Park bicycle accident lawyers can help you fight to recover the following economic and non-economic damages:
- Future medical care costs
- Lost income/wages, including future lost earnings
- Loss of earning capacity due to disability
- Pain and suffering
- Disfigurement
- Inconvenience
- All medical expenses related to the accident/your injuries
- Lost quality of life
The process of filing a claim can be fairly complicated. Because Florida is a no-fault state, you may need to first seek compensation through your own insurance provider, rather than through the at-fault party’s insurance company. However, if your injuries meet the state’s “serious injury” threshold, our legal team can help you go outside the no-fault system and fight for fair compensation for all of your damages, including those at are non-financial in nature.
