Negligent Motorists In Tampa

Driver negligence is the most common reason for a motorist being at fault in an accident. Inattentiveness, ignoring safe turns and failure to yield the right of way are examples of negligence that play a significant role in a major accident.

Even though injuries to a bicyclist are often far greater than those to a driver, many drivers and insurance companies will attempt to point the finger at the cyclist. Although rider error is frequently cited as a contributing factor in an accident, police investigations are the key to determining who was at fault and why.

The Aftermath of a Bicycle Accident

Being in a bicycle accident can be a scary and traumatizing experience. During emotionally stressful times, it’s often difficult to follow a plan of action. Here’s a short checklist to help you:

Report the accident to police and your insurance.
Preserve any damaged property.
Make a diagram by sketching out the scene. Note date, time and weather conditions.
Take pictures of the damaged property, including injuries.
Have a bike shop manager assess and document damage to your bicycle.
Avoid talking about the accident on social media or speaking to anyone about your case other than your attorney.
Refrain from signing any documents provided by opposing insurance companies without consulting your attorney.

Types of Bike Accidents

Even when riding in designated bike lanes, cyclists need to be aware of the risks in sharing the road with other vehicles. Some common types of bike accidents include:

Stop signs and stop lights – motorists not yielding right of way.
Drivers turning left or right – visibility issues leading to drivers not reacting to cyclists.
Riding against traffic – cyclists riding the wrong way.
Exiting from a private drive – cyclists entering a roadway from an alley, sidewalk or driveway.
Getting “doored” – a parked driver opens their door into the path of the cyclist.
