Accidents involving bicycles can happen for all sorts of reasons. Perhaps you had a collision with a motorist, a pedestrian, or even another cyclist. Maybe you have been sold or rented a faulty bicycle and been injured as a result.
What Are the Typical Injuries Following a Bicycle Accident?
According to the American Journal of Sports Medicine, cyclists face severe injuries if they are unfortunate enough to suffer from a collision with a vehicle. Traumatic injuries can impact several parts of the body, such as:
- Skin and soft tissue as a result of becoming unseated
- Face and eye as a result of impact or foreign bodies
- Head including skull fractures and brain contusion
- Chest including rib fractures and lung injuries
All of these problems can result in extensive medical bills, which could require ongoing treatment for some time. If so, then you will want to know your legal options for compensation from a responsible party. Call us at 1-800-747-3733 to see how we may be of assistance following your accident.
Statute of Limitations
According to Florida Statute § 95.11, you have four years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit if you choose to do so. Sometimes, negotiations with insurers do not lead to fair compensation, and victims may qualify for compensation through a lawsuit. If you fail to file within the allotted four years, you risk losing your chance to take any legal action at all.
Do not let your chance to hold a liable party responsible for the losses they caused you as a result of their negligence. Reach out to a bicycle accident lawyer as soon as possible.
