Bicycle Accident

Bicycle accidents in Florida and Texas often lead to catastrophic injuries, longterm medical treatment, and massive financial stress. And when the crash happens, insurance companies almost always try to blame the cyclist.

Finman Law Group steps in immediately to protect your rights, secure medical treatment, and fight for the full compensation you deserve. Drivers have insurance companies protecting them. Cyclists need a law firm that knows how to beat them.

Why Bicycle Accident Claims Are So Difficult

Insurance companies use the same tired excuses in every bike case:

• “The cyclist wasn’t visible.”
• “The cyclist swerved.”
• “The cyclist wasn’t in the bike lane.”
• “The cyclist wasn’t paying attention.”
• “The cyclist caused the crash.”

We shut these arguments down with evidence, investigation, and aggressive legal strategy.

Florida and Texas both have laws that insurers exploit:

Florida

• Cyclists have full rights to the road
• Drivers must give at least 3 feet when passing
• Many crashes involve distracted or aggressive drivers

Texas

• Cyclists are considered vulnerable road users
• Drivers must maintain a safe passing distance
• Insurers try to use “comparative negligence” to reduce payouts

Finman Law Group knows how to fight these tactics in both states.

Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents

1. Distracted Drivers

Phones, GPS, and incar screens take drivers’ eyes off the road.

2. Failure to Yield

Drivers turning left or right often cut off cyclists.

3. Unsafe Passing

Drivers pass too close or sideswipe cyclists.

4. Dooring Accidents

Car doors opening into bike lanes — extremely dangerous.

5. Speeding & Aggressive Driving

Drivers tailgate, honk, or force cyclists off the road.

6. Drunk or Drugged Driving

Impaired drivers are a major threat to cyclists.

7. Poor Road Conditions

Potholes, debris, and uneven pavement cause serious crashes.

8. HitandRun Accidents

We pursue UM/UIM coverage and investigate aggressively.

Common Injuries in Bicycle Accidents

Cyclists have almost no protection, so injuries are often severe:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Broken bones
• Road rash & deep abrasions
• Internal injuries
• Facial injuries
• Nerve damage
• Permanent disability
• Wrongful death

We make sure every injury is documented, treated, and fully compensated.
