Florida Bicycle Accident Lawyers on your side

Florida law requires motorists to give bicyclists at least three feet when passing. If a driver violates this rule or causes a crash, you may have a valid injury claim. Florida’s two-year filing deadline makes it important to act quickly. Ged Lawyers investigates fault, insurance coverage, and available compensation for injured cyclists.

Why You Need Bicycle Accident Attorneys in Florida

Florida gives bicyclists specific protections, including a three-foot passing requirement for motorists. If you are injured by a motor vehicle, seeking medical care within 14 days may also affect access to PIP benefits. Bicycle accident lawyers in Florida help injured cyclists understand these rules and protect their claims.

  • Ged Lawyers represents injured cyclists, passengers, and families throughout Florida. 
  • We handle claims involving distracted driving, failure to yield, unsafe turns, dooring accidents, bike-lane collisions, and other preventable crashes. 
  • Our team reviews police reports, crash-scene evidence, medical records, witness statements, and insurance information to establish liability. 
  • We pursue available compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage. 

Types of Bicycle Accident Cases We Handle

Driver-Failure-To-Yield

Claims involving drivers who fail to yield while turning, merging, entering traffic, or crossing bike lanes.

Cases involving cyclists injured when a parked driver opens a door into the rider’s path.

Claims involving unsafe lane changes, blocked bike lanes, careless drivers, or roadway hazards.

Crashes involving red lights, stop signs, crosswalks, turning vehicles, or right-of-way disputes.

Legal help for cyclists hurt when the at-fault driver leaves the scene.

Claims involving potholes, loose gravel, debris, poor signage, or unsafe roadway conditions.

Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries We Handle

Head and Brain Injuries

Head trauma and concussions from Florida bicycle crashes can affect concentration, memory, coordination, emotional health, and everyday activities.

Florida cyclists may suffer spinal injuries, disc damage, and persistent nerve pain that often require substantial medical evidence.

Broken bones caused by Florida bicycle collisions can require surgery, rehabilitation, time away from work, and ongoing treatment.

Road rash injuries in Florida for bicycle accidents may result in infection, permanent scarring, nerve complications, and lasting discomfort.

Internal trauma from a Florida bicycle crash can involve organ damage or bleeding that demands immediate medical attention.

When a Florida bicycle accident results in fatality, surviving family members may have legal options for recovery.

Do I Have A Bicycle Accident Claim in Florida?

You may have a Florida bicycle accident claim if a negligent driver or another responsible party caused your injuries. Florida law requires motorists to provide at least three feet when passing a bicyclist, and injured cyclists may have access to PIP benefits when struck by a motor vehicle. PIP generally provides up to $10,000 in benefits, with medical treatment subject to Florida’s 14-day requirement.

Florida’s modified comparative-fault law can reduce compensation based on your share of fault and bars of recovery when you are more than 50% at fault. Ged Lawyers can review the crash, insurance coverage, medical records, and evidence to determine your legal options.
