Partial Fault Bicycle Accident

Bicycle Accident Tips

Central Florida being a thriving hub of bicycle enthusiasts, unfortunately, we see a disproportionate amount of injuries to cyclists compared to the rest of the nation. Cyclists share the road with vehicles but oftentimes vehicles don’t share the road with the cyclists. Now, these types of cases are different from normal automobile to automobile cases. If you’re a cyclist who’s been injured because you’ve been struck by a vehicle, one of the things that we get asked a lot is what if I’m partially to blame. I don’t know if I was supposed to yield to that vehicle when I turned at that left at the four-way stop sign. I didn’t know if I was supposed to take a right when the light was red. Again, there’s so many vehicles on the road in Florida, and particularly in central Florida, and so many cyclists. These incidents are going to happen. If you feel that you may be partially at fault, don’t be afraid to reach out to us about that. It doesn’t preclude you from having a claim. In Florida, a driver who is involved in an accident with a bicyclist is never going to escape liability completely. Yes, there may be some fault attributed to the cyclist but it’s important that you let the attorney who’s experienced in these types of cases counsel you on that and guide you. You don’t need to jump to conclusions about whether you have a valid case or not. Let us have that conversation with you. If you’re a cyclist who’s been injured due to the negligence of a driver, please reach out to us at Victory law firm.

Pothole Bicycle Accident

Central Florida is known for many things. Florida is home to millions of cyclists. In fact, we lead the nation in bicycle clubs and that’s partially due to our fantastic weather. It’s also partly due to our many trails, our bike friendly laws. There is a disproportionate amount of injuries to cyclists in Florida compared to the rest of the nation. Now, all of those injuries don’t necessarily involve vehicle and bicycle collisions. Many cyclists in Florida are injured because of the other thing that central Florida has a lot of, which is construction. Our roads are constantly under construction because of the explosion in our population, both people moving in and just the expansion of toll roads, highways, the explosion of dense population centers, cities like Orlando, Tampa, Miami, Jacksonville, the panhandle, Brevard County, Broward County. Florida is just growing and there’s construction everywhere. Many, many times, cyclists are injured because of a pothole, an unfinished road, a bad detour, damaged sidewalks, incomplete projects. If you are a cyclist who’s been injured by any one of these types of circumstances, please do not hesitate to call the Victory law firm.
