Statute of Limitations for Bicycle Injury Claims in Florida
Most Injury Claims are Subject to a 2-Year Statute of Limitations: You must file a claim before a two year statutory deadline ticks away. Our Florida personal injury attorneys will help you secure the evidence, build a case, and take the right steps to maximize your recovery.
Personal injuries caused by someone else’s negligence can be life-altering. You were healthy and vibrant one minute, and you were dealing with painful injuries, doctors’ appointments, and lost wages the next. Then, there is the emotional toll caused by your personal injury. You might feel angry at the person that caused the injury and depressed and anxious about your physical and financial issues.
Cycling Accidents In Florida
Cyclists are some of the most vulnerable roadway occupants, and bicycle accidents caused by negligent motorists require aggressive representation. Our experienced trial lawyers have successfully represented injured cyclists for years, and know what it takes to prosecute your bicycle accident claim.

Even when a cyclist is riding safely and cautiously, an accident can occur due to no fault of your own. Some of the most common types of accidents plaguing cyclists involve the following:
- Head Injuries
- Road Rash & Abrasions
- Fractures
- Strains & Sprains
- Contusions & Hematomas
- Spinal Cord Injuries
- Facial Injuries
- Internal Injuries
- Soft Tissue Injuries
- Psychological Trauma

Who Can Be Held Responsible for My Bicycle Accident?
Responsibility for biking accidents in Florida, like in most places, depends on the specific circumstances of the accident and who is found to be at fault. Responsibility can be attributed to different parties, including:
- Motorists: In many cases, motorists are responsible for accidents involving bicycles. This can result from actions such as failing to yield the right of way, distracted driving, speeding, driving under the influence, running red lights or stop signs, or engaging in other negligent behaviors. Motorists have a duty to exercise care and share the road safely with cyclists.
- Cyclists: Cyclists can also be responsible for accidents. This might occur if a cyclist violates traffic laws, such as running a red light, not using hand signals for turns, or riding against traffic. Cyclists are expected to follow the same traffic rules as motorists.
- Other Parties: Sometimes, accidents may be caused by the negligence of other parties, such as pedestrians who step into the path of a cyclist without looking, or even other cyclists who act negligently, leading to collisions.
- Unsafe Road Conditions: In some cases, accidents may be due to unsafe road conditions, such as potholes, debris, or poorly maintained roadways. In such instances, responsibility might fall on the entity responsible for maintaining the road.
- Vehicle Defects: Occasionally, accidents may result from defects in a motor vehicle, such as faulty brakes or defective parts. In such cases, the manufacturer or maintenance entity could share responsibility.
It’s important to establish fault and liability in the event of a cycling accident, as this can determine who is responsible for compensating you for medical expenses, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses.
You are able to file a negligence claim in Florida so long as you are not found to be more than 50% at fault for your accident. If you are found to be 50% at fault or more for your accident, your claims for compensation will be null. This is why contacting our office is critical.
We can help you recover the maximum compensation that you are able to receive. This can be used to help pay for lost wages, your medical bills and any pain and suffering you may have experienced due to the accident.

What to do if you’ve been injured in an accident:
- Report your accident to the appropriate authorities ASAP. Whether this is the police, an employer, a store employee, or a supervisor. Get medical treatment for any injuries you have sustained, don’t “shake it off.” Some injuries, like traumatic brain injuries or internal injuries, can have delayed symptoms. The sooner you can receive medical attention, the better for your health and your case.
- Collect as much information as possible. You or someone you trust should attempt to get information from any involved parties. Important information can be the names of all parties involved and any eyewitnesses. If you were in a car crash, get the other driver’s insurance information too.
- Take photographs. Photograph the scene, your injuries, the causing factors of the accident, and anything you think may be relevant. If you were injured on someone’s property due to a dangerous condition, take photos of the dangerous condition.
- Get copies of all relevant documents. This can include police reports, incident reports, medical documents, and communications with insurance companies.
The more information you have about your case, the stronger your claim will be. If you were injured due to another’s carelessness, contact our experienced Florida Personal Injury Lawyers to learn more about filing a claim.
