Bicycle Accidents in Miami

Bicycling is a popular way to get around Miami, but it can also be dangerous. With fast-moving traffic, distracted drivers, and limited bike lanes in some areas, cyclists are often left vulnerable. When a car, truck, or SUV hits a bicyclist, the injuries are often serious—or even fatal. If you’ve been injured while riding your bike, the legal team at Jimenez Mazzitelli Mordes is here to help.

Cyclists have just as much right to the road as anyone else. Unfortunately, many drivers don’t respect that. They pass too closely, open car doors without checking, or fail to yield at intersections. Some aren’t paying attention at all. The result is often broken bones, spinal cord injuries, brain trauma, or long-term disability for the cyclist.

We take these cases seriously. Our attorneys investigate how the accident happened, collect video footage or witness statements, and hold the negligent party accountable. Whether you were hit in a crosswalk, in a bike lane, or on a neighborhood street, you deserve answers—and fair compensation.

Common causes of bicycle accidents in Miami include:

  • Distracted or texting drivers
  • Unsafe lane changes or turns
  • Speeding or reckless driving
  • Driving under the influence
  • Failure to yield at intersections or stop signs

Even with a helmet, bicyclists have almost no protection when they’re struck by a vehicle. The injuries can be severe and the financial toll enormous. At Jimenez Mazzitelli Mordes, we fight to recover damages for:

  • Emergency and long-term medical care
  • Lost income or inability to work
  • Pain and suffering
  • Ongoing therapy or rehab
  • Property damage (bike replacement)
  • Wrongful death in fatal cases

Insurance companies may try to offer quick settlements, but those offers rarely come close to covering the full cost of your injuries. Before you speak to them—or sign anything—speak with us. We handle every step of the process and fight to make sure you get what you need.
