Florida Bicycle Accident Attorney Fights For
Cyclists Rights
Thousands of people throughout Miami rely on
bicycles as a main form of transportation as well
as a source of exercise and recreation. Florida
law entitles Miami cyclists to be on the road
with motor vehicles. However, sharing the road
can turn disastrous when drivers fail to pay
close attention to cyclists who may be riding
nearby. When car and truck drivers do not pay
attention, they can cause bicycle accident
injuries. These may range from broken bones to
life-altering brain injuries and wrongful death.
