Over 7,000 cyclists are struck by a motor vehicle on a yearly basis. Too often this results in the death of the cyclist. Just as with motorcycles, bicycles are easily lost in a vehicle’s blind spots and do not offer any protection to the cyclist.
Florida law establishes specific requirements for people riding bicycles: Children under 16 years of age must wear a helmet at all times. Cyclists with a child under four years of age must have an extra seat or carrier attached to the bicycle. Cyclists must always wear a lamp and reflectors when riding at night, among many other regulations. However, these requirements do not exempt drivers of motor vehicles from exercising due care.
When a cyclist is struck by a moving vehicle the type of injuries sustained tend to be serious and permanent. Therefore, it’s essential to hire attorneys who are experienced in litigating bicycle accident cases.
