Florida Bicycle Accident Lawyer

Heavy traffic and distracted drivers can lead to danger for Florida bicyclists. If a negligent driver is around, enjoying a pleasant bike ride can quickly lead to a trip to the hospital. 

If you or a loved one has been the victim of a Florida bicycle accident, you are entitled to compensation. At Dennis Hernandez & Associates, our accident attorneys in Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota/Bradenton, Orlando and Lakeland (by appointment) are committed to helping victims of bicycle crashes. We can send a representative to meet you anywhere in Florida to begin working on your case. Submit a free case evaluation below, and one of our skilled attorneys will review your case with you at no cost. 

A bicycle wreck can cause more than just physical damage. Long-term mental health issues can affect a bicycle accident victim. Common injuries include: 

• Brain damage and concussion 
• Spine injury 
• Broken bones 
• PTSD 

In many accidents, you might not realize you have a serious injury because it can take days for symptoms to arise. Bicycle accident victims can spend days or even weeks in a hospital immediately following their accident. This doesn’t include the ongoing treatment and recovery for their injuries.  

Contact Dennis Hernandez & Associates if you’ve been in a bicycle accident. Let our aggressive personal injury attorneys in Tampa, Orlando, St, Petersburg, Sarasota/Bradenton and Lakeland (by appointment) fight for the compensation you deserve. 

Traffic in Florida can be difficult to dodge in the first place. On a bike, it can be near impossible and even dangerous. 

Distracted drivers are unprepared when they encounter cyclists on the road or in the parking lot. This is why they often end up failing to break or turn in time. Some causes of the most typical Florida bicycle accidents are: 

• Driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol 
• Distracted driving 
• Reckless driving, including road rage and speeding 
• Not obeying traffic signage or laws 
• Faulty vehicles or parts 

Our bicycle accident lawyers are dedicated to providing justice for crash victims.  We will go the distance through trial to fight for the compensation you deserve. Contact us for a free case evaluation and to begin the bicycle accident claim process. 

Florida bicycle injuries can be incredibly serious. They may require the victim to pay large hospital bills, physical therapy and even counseling. It’s common for victims to face PTSD and fear picking up their bike again. Healing from a crash injury can lead to time missed from work, loss of ability to perform job duties or even loss of employment. Financial compensation can ease the physical and mental burdens after an accident. 

At Dennis Hernandez & Associates, we consider the emotional and financial repercussions of your bicycle accident as well as the physical. By understanding the full effect of your bike accident, we can better calculate the true cost of your injuries. 

After a bike accident, the insurance company is not your friend. The defense will begin to build a case against you, and it will use anything it can find to undermine the state of your injuries. 

You need the guidance and experience of a personal injury law firm to collect evidence and prove negligence. We know how to combat the insurance company to get the compensation you deserve. 

At Dennis Hernandez & Associates, our injury attorneys in Tampa, St Petersburg, Sarasota/Bradenton, Orlando and Lakeland (by appointment) understand how difficult finances can be after a bicycle crash. Because of this, we offer a free initial consultation. There are no fees or costs unless we win. We understand that your accident has caused you enough stress, and we want to make the legal process easier for you. You may be tempted to tackle a seemingly straightforward claim on your own. But it is so easy to be taken advantage of by large insurance companies. 

We can build your case to demonstrate your need for compensation for physical, emotional and financial damages caused by your bike crash. Contact one of our five Florida offices, and we will send a representative out to you anywhere in the state to begin working on your bicycle accident claim.
