Auto Accidents in Florida

Bicycle accidents in Florida can result in serious injuries due to the limited protection cyclists have compared to vehicle occupants. Common injuries from such crashes include:

Head Injuries: Concussions and traumatic brain injuries are prevalent, often occurring when cyclists are thrown from their bikes or collide with other vehicles. These injuries can have long-lasting effects on cognitive functions and overall health.
Fractures: Broken bones, particularly in the arms, legs, and pelvis, are frequent in bicycle accidents. The force of impact can cause severe fractures that may require surgical intervention and extended rehabilitation.
Road Rash: This common injury occurs when the skin scrapes against the pavement. It can cause painful abrasions and increase the risk of infection.
Spinal Injuries: Injuries to the spine can range from minor to severe, potentially resulting in long-term mobility issues or paralysis.
