Biking is common year-round outdoor activity in Miami, and other parts of South Florida. Whether you are an experienced rider, or a novice, riding your bicycle can be dangerous. Florida leads the nation for cycling injuries.
In cars, things like air bags, the vehicle structure, and seatbelts protect occupants. However, bicycle riders do not have these protections when involved in an accident. As a result, bicycle riders are at risk for a plethora of injuries, including but not limited to:
- Back injuries
- Neck injuries
- Broken or fractured bones
- Dental or jaw injuries
- Cuts, bruises and lacerations
- Brain injuries
- Head injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Leg injuries
- Arm injuries
- Internal bleeding
- Death
If you or someone you know experienced injuries as a result of a bicycle accident, call 305 HURT for a free consultation at (305) 865- 9100.
