The Benefits of Having a Bicycle Accident Lawyer
After sustaining injuries in a bicycle accident involving a vehicle, bicyclists have the right to file a claim with the motorist’s car insurance. Some people choose to approach the legal process without help from an attorney and eventually run up against Florida’s complicated set of liability and negligence statutes all on their own.
Having a bicycle accident lawyer serving Miami Beach may help you navigate this complicated legal process. For example, if the insurance company denies your claim and you choose to go to court alone, you will face lawyers from the other side. Having a lawyer of your own may help to prove liability and negligence on the part of the driver who struck you.
You should also consider your physical and emotional well-being. If you suffered extensive injuries, you need time to rest and heal.
The lawyers with Ben Crump Law, PLLC have served clients filing for personal injury cases including:
- Drunk driving accidents.
- Drowsy driving accidents.
- Distracted driving accidents.
- Defective products.
- Hit and run accidents.

The Process of Recovering Compensation After a Bicycle Accident
Florida’s bicycle regulations state that bicyclists must follow the same rules of the road as motorized vehicles. This also means that motorists must give bicycle riders the same consideration as any other vehicle.
Unfortunately, some drivers in Miami Beach act negligently when it comes to bicyclists. If a bicycle accident lawyer can prove that your injuries and damages resulted from negligence, you may collect compensation from the at-fault party.
Ben Crump Law, PLLC treats our clients with the care and attention to detail that each individual case deserves so that you may recover compensation and justice. Let us ease the burden of pursuing compensation while you focus on resting and recovering from your injuries.
Uncovering Evidence of Negligence
Bicycle accidents contain valuable evidence that can establish negligence.
This evidence may include:
- Photos of the accident scene and your damaged bicycle.
- Photos, medical tests, and an overview of your injuries.
- Witness statements.
- Police and accident reports.
- Defendant’s vehicular driving history including past accidents or violations.
- Defendant’s blood alcohol test results if applicable.
- Closed-circuit traffic or security camera footage.
You can help collect evidence by telling your lawyer what you remember before, during, and after the accident.

Using this evidence, a lawyer with Ben Crump Law, PLLC may show:
- The other party owed you a duty of care to take reasonable measures that could have prevented the accident.
- The other party failed to uphold this duty in some manner.
- This negligence caused your injuries.
