Have You Been Injured in a Bicycle Accident?
Collingsworth Law represents bike and bicycle accident injury victims throughout Central Florida.
Bicycling is a not just a leisure activity; it’s also a critical method of transportation for millions of Floridians. People of all ages rely on their bicycles to get around, from kids traveling to and from elementary school, to seniors moving about the neighborhood. It’s popularity continues to grow, but unfortunately, the activity remains a very high risk, particularly in the State of Florida.
Just How Dangerous is Bicycling?
Did you know that Florida has the highest rate of bicycling deaths of any state in the union? According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), 0.47 people out of 100,000 die in bicycle accidents in Florida. While Florida leads all states in this statistical category, it also doubles the nationwide fatality rate of 0.23 per 100,000. Furthermore, this rate is even higher in Brevard County, which is an astounding 0.73 people per 100,000.

Why Hire A Bike Accident Lawyer?
Bicycle accidents produce a wide range of injuries, ranging from bruises and scrapes to broken bones and death. Although not all bicycle accident injuries are severe, many do require medical treatment. If someone else was at fault for your accident and the resulting injury needs the attention of a healthcare professional, it is probably a wise idea to call a bicycle accident attorney.
While the legal system is framed to best serve justice to the public, it is also involves a series of complex steps for those that are seeking compensation. Unfortunately, it can be immensely challenging for the average lay person to effectively maneuver through the proper legal channels in pursuit of a remedy. Consequently, many individuals may choose to hire a bicycle accident lawyer to assist them through this process. A lawyer will work on your behalf only and ensure that the courts are utilized to your advantage. Similarly, your accident lawyer will guard you against exploitation from the other party’s attorneys.
