Common Causes of Bike and Pedestrian Accidents in Florida

Several factors can contribute to accidents involving cyclists and pedestrians in Florida:

Distracted Driving: Distracted drivers may not notice a cyclist or pedestrian until it's too late to avoid a collision. These accidents are frequently caused by drivers who are texting or looking at maps, a common hazard in places like Boca Raton where tourists are common.
Driver Negligence: Accidents can occur when drivers ignore the rights of cyclists and pedestrians, failing to yield right of way, or not respecting bike lanes and crosswalks.
Intoxicated Driving: Alcohol or drug-impaired drivers pose a significant risk to everyone on the road, including cyclists and pedestrians. medical costs
Poor Visibility: During night or adverse weather conditions, drivers might fail to spot cyclists or pedestrians, leading to accidents.

Ways Bike Riders and Pedestrians Can Seek Compensation After Being Hit by a Car in Florida

In Florida, individuals injured in a bicycle or pedestrian accident caused by another party’s negligence have the right to seek compensation. They can file a claim with the at-fault driver’s auto insurance company or their own, depending on the circumstances.

Keep in mind that Florida is a no-fault state. This means that you typically need to seek compensation from your own insurance policy first, regardless of who was at fault. This can be a particularly complicated aspect of bike and pedestrian accidents in Florida as many cyclists and walkers don’t have auto insurance, which means no PIP coverage. In those scenarios it’s sometimes possible to file a claim against the other driver.

In any type of Florida auto accident that resulted in severe and permanent injuries, you might be allowed to step outside of this no-fault system and file a claim directly against the at-fault driver.
