Bicycle Accidents

Bicycle Accident Attorney in Clearwater

Representation for Bicycle Accident Victims

Whether local residents use bicycles as a form of transportation, recreation, or exercise, they have the same rights as others with whom they share the roadways. In fact, bicycles are considered, by law, vehicles with the same rights and responsibilities as motor vehicles. Bicyclists are especially vulnerable to the negligence of drivers and are constantly at risk for being involved in accidents. When accidents do happen, riders frequently suffer injuries as the result of the little protection they have against larger vehicles.

Of the 4,600 injured riders in 2010 Florida traffic crashes, according to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, it is safe to assume that many of these injuries were serious and even catastrophic. In addition, popular bike trails throughout the region, including the Pinellas Trail, the Upper Tampa Bay Bike Trail and the Suncoast Trail, see their fair share of bicycle accidents. Many of these accidents occur when bicyclists cross roadways or intersections on the trails.

Injured riders should be aware that insurance companies may attempt to highlight the possibility that bicyclists can be held at fault for causing a traffic accident. While this may be possible, it most certainly does not mean that it applies to every situation. In fact, most bicycle accidents are caused by the failures of drivers to be aware of their surroundings, obey traffic laws, and share the road responsibly. This frequently includes inattentive drivers who make rights on red when not paying attention to walk signals and intersection crossings. When this is the case, our experienced Clearwater bicycle accident attorney does everything to hold at-fault drivers liable for the physical, emotional, and / or financial damages riders suffer.
