Tampa Bicycle Accident Lawyer

Recently, Florida bicyclists have been injured and killed at an alarming rate on Florida’s roads.  Again, cell phones, congestion, and poor driving habits have contributed to these injuries and loss of life. Contact Tampa bicycle accident lawyer, Richard Rocha if you or a loved one has been injured as the result of a bicycle accident.

In Florida, bicycles are not considered motor vehicles under Florida law.  As such, it is not necessary for bicyclists or pedestrians for that matter, to prove a permanent injury or significant scarring or disfigurement as required of motorists injured in automobile accidents.  The only requirement that a Florida bicyclist must meet is that they sustained an injury due to the negligence of a Florida motorist.

You should always wear protective headgear and reflective clothing when riding a bicycle. You should always proceed with the flow of traffic.

If you have been injured while riding a bicycle, please contact Tampa bicycle accident lawyer, Richard M. Rocha, P.A. for a free consultation of your claim.
