Serious and Fatal Injury Claims: Bicycle Accident Cases in Fort Myers

The numbers of serious or fatal bicycle accidents continues to increase, even with designated bike lanes and paths in place in the Fort Myers area. Vehicle operators, whether car, truck, van or other motor vehicle, regularly fail to observe a bicyclist sharing the street or highway, resulting in a devastating injury accident. These bicycle accidents frequently take place through sudden lane changes, crossing intersections, and in various other incidents.

Injured in a bicycle accident in Fort Myers?

Types of Bicycle Accident Injuries

There are a range of injuries that occur in such accidents, from severe abrasions to head and neck injuries, spinal cord injuries, internal injuries, broken bones, amputations and other catastrophic injuries. The initial impact is often followed by a secondary impact in which the bicyclist is hit again, either by a vehicle, or dragged for a distance after the impact.

A failure to yield right of way, failure to obey road signs, and improper lane changes are the most common factors in bicycle accidents that lead to death or serious injury. The tragedy is that many victims are so seriously injured that they cannot survive, or are permanently injured, and have no hope of returning to the healthy condition they had prior to the accident. At our firm, we concentrate on protecting the right to full financial compensation for the injured, and in serving families who have lost a loved one in a bicycle accident.
