What are they legal rights of any insured bicyclist in a hit-and-run accident in the State of Florida? Bicyclists are the unfortunate victims of hit-and-run accidents. When a bicyclist is hit or injured by a motor vehicle, the injuries often times are very serious in nature. Some bicyclists even lose their lives as a result of automobile accidents in the State of Florida. When there is an accident involving a bicyclist and a motor vehicle, the driver of the motor vehicle and others nearby should stop to render assistance for the bicyclist. Unfortunately, drivers frequently flee the scene of the accident after a bicyclist or pedestrian is injured. In Florida, an injured bicyclist may be able to pursue a claim against his or her uninsured motorist vehicle policy or a resident relative’s uninsured motorist vehicle policy when there is a hit-and-run accident.
Many people do not realize that a person can collect damages even when he or she is not driving, operating, or occupying a motor vehicle. Because of the complexities of Florida insurance laws as they pertain to bicyclist, it is important for the injured bicyclist or the family to contact a Florida Personal Injury Attorney for advice, consultation, and legal representation. It is very challenging dealing with the aftermath of the bicycle accident. The information provided by an attorney will help guide a injured bicyclist and his family through the maze of issues legal and insurance that arise in a Florida Bicycle Accident. The attorneys at Wood, Atter & Wolf, P.A. have been representing the interests of injured bicyclists and their families since 1957.
