Jacksonville Bicycle Accident Attorneys

Bicycles provide a healthy and eco-friendly way to travel. As such, they have become increasingly popular throughout America. On the road, bicycles have the same legal rights and responsibilities as motorized vehicles. However, some motorists still don’t properly share the road with cyclists. When a driver becomes careless and makes mistakes, they could cause life-altering injuries for cyclists.

• Loss of consortium
• Disfigurement or disability
• Loss of enjoyment of life

Causes of Bicycle Accidents

• Left hook: This crash occurs when a car turns left at an intersection and fails to yield to a cyclist in the oncoming lane. When this happens, the vehicle is typically traveling at a high speed, leading to serious injures for the cyclist.
• Right hook: This type of accident occurs when a driver passes a cyclist on the road and fails to see the cyclist before making a right-hand turn in front of them.
• Rear-ending: Similar to rear-end car accidents, when a driver is speeding or distracted they can hit a bicyclist in front of them.
• Dooring: This accident occurs when a cyclist is riding along a road with parked cars and is hit when a driver fails to check for oncoming traffic and opens their door in front of the cyclist.

At Jimenez Law Firm P.A., we represent bicycle accident victims on a contingency fee basis. So, we only get paid a percentage of the settlement when we win your case.

We represent clients in other areas of personal injury law such as car accidents, trucking accidents, Uber and Lyft accidents, dog bites, slip and fall accidents, motorcycle accidents, pedestrian accidents and trampoline accidents.
