Common Types of Injuries in Bike Wrecks

People in bicycle accidents are not likely to walk away without injuries. Bike accidents frequently result in serious harm because cyclists have nothing to shield them from the impact of a wreck, other than possibly a helmet, which could protect them from severe head injuries. However, according to Florida Statutes § 316.2065(3)(d), only riders under age 16 must wear a helmet under Florida law. Consequently, not all adult cyclists regularly wear helmets.

The most common types of injuries caused by bike crashes include:

  • Head injuries like traumatic brain damage
  • Broken bones
  • Back and neck injuries
  • Facial injuries, such as lost teeth and disfigurement
  • Cuts, bruises, and road rash from scraping skin on the pavement

Our attorneys could work with you and your family to learn the full extent of your injuries and other losses in order to help fight for a fair damages award or settlement.

Sadly, some bike accidents result in fatalities. If your loved one lost their life while riding a bike, our compassionate Inverness accident attorneys could help your family fight for justice on their behalf in a wrongful death lawsuit.

Proving Liability After a Bike Crash

Most bike crash injury cases involve proving that the person who caused the accident was legally negligent. To recover your rightful compensation, our Inverness attorneys could help you by skillfully combing through the evidence from the bicycle accident to demonstrate that another person’s negligent or wrongful actions led to your injuries.

Duty of Care

Our attorneys could show that the motorist had a duty of care to drive responsibly and protect everyone sharing the roads with them.

Breach of Duty of Care

Our lawyers could demonstrate how the at-fault driver breached the duty of care to protect you and everyone else on the road, such as by speeding, driving drunk, or texting from behind the wheel.

Causation

We could search for proof demonstrating that the motorist’s actions caused the accident. For instance, we could show that if the at-fault driver had not been texting, they would not have struck you.

Damages

Our attorneys could help you demonstrate that the accident caused you to suffer damages. We could work with medical experts and others to help calculate the value of your losses.
