Bicycle Accidents

Bicycling accidents cause many fatalities and personal injuries each year. Many bicycle accidents are completely preventable, as they are usually caused by the negligence of motorists or by defective bicycles and products. If you are a pedestrian or cyclist who has survived an accident or if you've lost a loved one to a bicycle accident, The Law Offices of Flaxman & Lopez can help. We have successfully represented many clients who have suffered due to the negligence of another person. We have helped many bicyclists get excellent medical care and the support they needed to rebuild their lives after an accident.  

Bicycle collisions and bicycle accidents can cause severe injuries. Neck and head injuries are very common, and many bicyclists suffer brain damage after a serious bicycle accident. Spinal cord injuries, nerve damage, broken limbs, and even permanent injuries are not uncommon with this type of accident. Unfortunately, cyclists involved in accidents often miss considerable amounts of work while they are recovering. Injuries may require reconstructive surgery or lengthy and expensive medical treatment. Not all insurance companies are willing to pay a bicyclist without a struggle -- don't forget, many insurance companies hire attorneys of their own. Bicyclists should hire their own professional Florida attorneys to represent them so that they can get the best medical treatment and the best support they can.
