Why You Need a Bicycle Accident Attorney in Orlando
Insurance companies routinely undervalue bicycle accident claims. They argue the cyclist should not have been on that road, was riding outside the bike lane, or contributed to the crash — all designed to shift blame and shrink settlements. Without an Orlando bicycle accident attorney who understands Florida cycling law and knows how to counter these tactics, cyclists routinely accept a fraction of what their case is worth.
Insurers blame the cyclist by default
Defense adjusters routinely assert cyclists violated traffic laws, weren't visible, or rode unpredictably — even when surveillance and witnesses prove otherwise. We aggressively counter blame-shifting with reconstruction experts and video evidence.
Florida bicycle law is technical and misunderstood
Florida cyclists have all the rights and responsibilities of motorists under Florida Statutes § 316.2065. Drivers must give cyclists 3 feet of clearance when passing. We know the statutes, the case law, and how to use them to win.
Coverage stacking is critical
Cyclists are entitled to recover under the driver's liability policy, their own auto PIP, their own UM/UIM coverage, and any household policies. Missing a single layer can cost six figures. We identify every dollar of available coverage.
Bicycle injuries are often severe
Cyclists have no airbags, no crumple zones, no metal cage. Even a low-speed impact can produce traumatic brain injury, spinal injury, broken pelvis, or fractured limbs. We work with medical experts to fully value the lifetime cost.
Hit-and-run cases require fast action
Surveillance footage from intersections, businesses, and doorbell cameras is often deleted within 7-30 days. Our investigators move immediately to preserve video and identify the driver before evidence disappears.

Cyclists are entitled to the same categories of damages as any injured motorist — plus damages unique to bicycle cases like bike and gear replacement. Our Orlando bicycle accident attorneys calculate the true value of your claim, not just the medical bills.
Medical bills & future care
Emergency transport, ER treatment, orthopedic surgery, neurology, imaging, physical therapy, and the long tail of follow-up care that bicycle crash injuries require
Lost wages & earning capacity
Time off work during recovery plus the diminished ability to perform your job — calculated by economists and vocational experts when injuries are permanent
Pain and suffering
Physical pain, road rash recovery, surgical scarring, depression, anxiety, PTSD from being struck by a vehicle, and the long-term psychological impact of the crash
Bicycle & gear replacement
Replacement value of your bike, helmet, lights, computer, GPS, kit, and any other gear destroyed in the crash — at full replacement cost, not depreciated value
Disfigurement & scarring
Permanent visible scarring from road rash, surgical incisions, and lacerations — a separate compensable damage in Florida bicycle injury cases
Loss of consortium
Compensation to a spouse for the loss of companionship, intimacy, and household services caused by serious injuries to the cyclist
Loss of enjoyment of life
The hobbies, fitness routines, races, and lifestyle a serious injury permanently takes away — particularly significant for dedicated cyclists
Punitive damages
Available when the driver was drunk, fled the scene, or acted with gross negligence — punitive damages can dramatically increase the value of a bicycle crash case
Bicycle Crashes & Florida Law: What Orlando Cyclists Need to Know
Florida consistently ranks as the deadliest state in America for cyclists according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford metropolitan area combines year-round riding weather, a constant influx of tourists unfamiliar with local roads, dense commercial corridors, and high-speed arterials that create exceptional danger for cyclists.
Under Florida Statutes § 316.2065, cyclists in Florida have all the rights and duties of any driver of a vehicle. Drivers must give cyclists a minimum of 3 feet of clearance when passing under Florida Statutes § 316.083(1). Florida requires helmets only for cyclists under 16 — adult cyclists are not required to wear helmets and cannot have their recovery barred for not wearing one.
Cyclists are entitled to Florida no-fault PIP benefits if they own a car, because PIP follows the person — not the vehicle. That means up to $10,000 in immediate medical and wage coverage is available even though you weren't in a vehicle. Beyond PIP, you can pursue the driver's bodily injury liability coverage, your own UM/UIM coverage, and any applicable umbrella or excess policies. UM coverage is particularly important in hit-and-run cases.
Florida's modified comparative negligence law reduces recovery by your percentage of fault and bars recovery if you are more than 50% at fault. Defense attorneys routinely attempt to shift blame onto cyclists — riding outside the bike lane, failing to use lights at night under Florida Statutes § 316.2065(7), or rolling through stop signs. Our attorneys build evidence-based cases that minimize comparative fault findings.
Florida Statute of Limitations
Under Florida Statutes § 95.11, you have 2 yearsfrom the date of your bicycle crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. Surveillance evidence frequently disappears within 30 days. Don't wait — contact our Orlando bicycle accident attorneys today at (407) 777-8888.
