Causes of a Car-Cyclist Collision in MiamiThere are a multitude of possible scenarios where collisions happen on the roads and freeways that Miami cyclists use each day. These are but a few examples of how a collision can manifest itself:
- Car or cyclist running a red light
- Car encroaching on cyclist’s space
- No use of turning signals
- Bumping into or reversing onto cyclist
- Driving while intoxicated
- Encroaching on right of way
- Opening door onto the path of cyclist
- Texting while driving
A cycling collision is a jarring experience, to say the least. The injured person may find themselves under a car, through a windshield, run over, or thrown a distance away due to the impact. Any and all of these collisions can lead to severe damage, resulting in potential loss of limbs or life. If a victim survives, they might incur hefty rehabilitation expenses and costs of medical care, including surgery, for which the responsible person or company should pay, along with compensation for their past and future pain and suffering. For a deceased victim, their family should be compensated for funeral home costs, loss of earnings, and their difficult loss of the family member.
