What Should I Do If A Car Hits Me While On My Bicycle?

Bicyclists are at a distinct advantage on Florida roadways. They often are required by law to share the road with cars and trucks and while they are provided their own separate bicycle lane, they still must traverse Florida roadways in a safe manner. However, unlike other motor vehicles, bicycles offer virtually no protection from injury in the event of a crash.

There are many reasons to hire a personal injury attorney. However, (and there is no way to say this without sounding self-serving) not nearly as many people hire personal injury lawyers as they should. Also, many people wait far too long to hire an experienced attorney to work on their personal injury cases. As a result, these individuals will suffer from their injuries for years and won’t receive fair compensation.

Treatment of spinal cord injuries is usually fraught with angst. My clients are terrified to undergo serious treatment to their necks or backs. However, spinal cord injuries (“SCI”) are very common in car accidents, motorcycle accidents, and slip and fall cases. Therefore, a lot of personal injury victims must have their spinal cord injury treated with physical therapy, occupational therapy, injection therapy, or even surgery.

Suffering an amusement Park (and theme park) injury is very common in Florida. This is, in part, because Orlando, Florida is the theme park capital of the world. Orlando is home to Walt Disney World, Universal Studios Orlando, SeaWorld Orlando, and Legoland Florida. Additionally, Busch Gardens and Adventure Island (a water park) are located in Tampa.

As we approach the holiday season, we are nearing the peak times for Florida amusement parks. These parks offer attractions that promise thrills from roller coasters, water slides, 3D simulations, holiday themed shows, and more. Park owners, in an effort to get customers to spend as many dollars in their parks as possible, market these attractions as fun for the entire family.

However, if you are planning to attend an amusement park, you should be aware of the risk of injury to you and your family members. People are injured at amusement parks in a number of different ways. Often, these injuries can occur as a result of the negligence of someone else. When those injuries occur, the victim can seek compensation for their injuries.
