Ft. Lauderdale Bicycle Accident Attorney

Have you been injured while cycling in Ft. Lauderdale?

Cycling is an excellent form of transportation—economical, environmentally friendly, healthy and enjoyable—but it can also be highly dangerous. Most cyclists are cautious and will typically ride defensively, but the danger comes from another quarter: negligent drivers. The driver is at fault in a large percentage of all car accidents involving bicycles, whether it is due to a failure to yield the right of way or to various forms of distracted driving such as using a cell phone for texting. If you have been injured while riding and believe that the driver is responsible for your accidents, don't hesitate to contact a Ft. Lauderdale accident attorney from Chalik & Chalik.

Bicycle Accident Injuries in Ft. Lauderdale, FL

Even the most careful rider has very little safety gear in the event of a collision, as a bike helmet only provides limited protection to the head, while the rest of the body is exposed to the full force of the crash. The rider is liable to injury from two sources-the impact with the other vehicle and with the road surface. Common injuries include broken limbs or a fractured collarbone, road rash and concussions, and can be as serious as traumatic brain injuries, paralyzing spinal cord injuries and even fatal injuries.
