Florida has one of the highest rate of bicycle accidents that result in fatalities in the United States. Bicycle accidents are happening in Florida more than they should be. Some of the most common causes of bike accidents include distracted driving, failure to yield to bicyclists, and running stop signs. Drivers who neglect to take proper care put everyone on the road at risk. Bicyclists are especially vulnerable to these drivers. According to Florida law, bicyclists have the same rights as any other vehicle on the road. Bicyclists are legally allowed to ride on the road with other vehicles. They must abide by certain rules like if they are riding slower than traffic they must use the bike lane, and if there is no bike lane they must ride as far right as they can. It is important for drivers to understand that they must yield to bicyclists who are using the bike lane. Bike lanes are traffic lanes that are subject to the same laws as any other lane. Drivers should be reminded that it is their responsibility to share the road with bicyclists and take necessary safety precautions accordingly. If you were injured due to a driver’s negligence, you could qualify for compensation if you file a claim with a Venice bicycle injury lawyer from Pallegar Law.

Bicycle injuries are often serious. There is very little protecting a bicyclist when they are involved in a collision with a vehicle. The result of a bike accident can be life threatening and often fatal. Common injuries associated with bicycle accidents include head and neck injuries, broken bones, and brain injuries. Bicyclists depend on their own mobility to do what they enjoy. If you have suffered an injury because of the negligence of a driver, you should take legal action as soon as possible. There is no reason you should carry the financial burden when another person was at fault for your injury. Along with your physical suffering, you may be suffering financially with medical bills and lost time at work. If you believe you were wrongfully injured in a bicycle accident, contact a Venice bicycle lawyer at Pallegar Law by calling us anytime at 941-893-5816.

Pallegar Law, always put my family first, their team always explained things in full detail, and got the very best results possible. They genuinely care. Our family will forever be grateful. Thank you. Dennis
★★★★★
He took me on and from the word go communicated everything in a timely and professional fashion about how everything is going to be played it; and then delivered word for word. The best part about them apart from their professionalism and efficiency would have to be their honesty which lets you entrust them, which in today's day and age is a rare virtue. Hemant

Excellent communication skills between the staff and client. I always felt I was in the know as to what to expect next. Ajay was up front on possible outcomes of the case and did not promise unrealistic results. Hope to not need them again, but definitely would recommend them. Steve
