Miami Bicycle Accident Lawyer
Advocating for Bike Injury Victims in South Florida and Beyond
Every year, approximately 2% of all people killed in motor vehicle crashes are bicyclists, and another 15% are pedestrians. In the United States in 2020, there were 1,260 bicycle deaths, and 806 pedestrians died from auto accidents according to The National Safety Council. The numbers of injury victims are even higher—an estimated 50,000 bicycle accident and 66,000 pedestrian accident injuries every year.
Sometimes, these deaths and injuries occur as a result of impaired driving, negligence or motor vehicle malfunction. If that is the case, it’s important to hire an experienced bicycle accident attorney who can advocate for your interests and see your case through to the end.
At Grossman Roth Yaffa Cohen, our Miami bicycle accident attorneys can bring over 2002 years of combined experience to your case, as well as a track record that includes $1 billion won for our clients.

What Causes Bicycle Accidents?
In some cases, bicycle accidents are caused by rider error and carelessness. In general, however, the data shows motor vehicle drivers tend to be the primary cause behind bicycle accidents and that bicyclists are far more vulnerable to serious injury or death than drivers.
This may not always be intentional: If drivers are not careful to observe traffic laws, look both ways, and merge with caution, they can easily crash into hard-to-see bicyclists..
Some of the most common causes of bicycle accidents include:
- Drunk or intoxicated driving (DUI/DWI)
- Weaving through traffic
- Tailgating & road rage
- Aggressive driver behaviors
- Speeding
- Failing to give enough space for cyclists
- Running through red lights and stop signs
- Failing to yield to a cyclist’s right of way
- Making dangerous lane changes
- Backing up without looking
- Texting or use of cell phones while driving
What Are My Rights as a Florida Cyclist?
In the state of Florida, cyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as drivers, with a few exceptions. However, because the law recognizes that cyclists are vulnerable, there are also additional protections and complications that can come into play during a personal injury lawsuit or insurance claim.
Additionally, catastrophic injuries are common, meaning that victims will likely need a lifetime of financial resources and assistance to cover for their medical expenses, occupational needs, and more.
That is when you need an effective lawyer. At Grossman Roth Yaffa Cohen, our Miami bicycle accident lawyers offer extensive experience and the skills to help clients seek justice for catastrophic injury or wrongful death after a crash.
