How Long Do I Have to Take Action After a Bicycle Accident?

Once you understand that you can afford a lawyer, the next urgent question is how long you have to act. The answer is: not long at all. You typically have two years to file a lawsuit after a car accident.

Florida’s deadlines for injury cases are strict, and waiting too long can permanently prevent you from recovering compensation. Evidence like traffic footage, witness memories, and medical documentation also fades quickly. That’s why speaking with a member of our firm as soon as possible is critical. The earlier we’re involved, the stronger and more protected your case becomes, and the sooner we can start fighting for you.

What Damages Can You Recover After a Bicycle Accident in Miami?

Depending on the circumstances of your crash, you could be entitled to compensation for:

Past, Current, and Future Medical Expenses

You can recover compensation for:

• ER visits, hospital stays, surgeries
• Imaging (e.g., CT, MRI), physical therapy, chiropractic care
• Prescription medications and medical equipment
• Long-term care for traumatic brain injuries, spinal injuries, fractures, or mobility limitations

Cyclists often require extended rehabilitation, and we make sure your compensation reflects that.

Lost Income and Reduced Earning Capacity

If your injuries prevent you from working, force you to work fewer hours or take a lower-paying job, or retire, you can recover:

• Lost wages
• Lost tips, bonuses, or freelance income
• Loss of future earning potential

Cyclists injured in Miami often work in tourism, service, or gig-economy roles—all of which can be immediately impacted by injury.

Property Damage

The following may be recoverable:

• Your bicycle (from high-end road bikes to e-bikes)
• Helmets, clothing, shoes, lights, and other gear

We document true repair or replacement value, not just what the insurer wants to offer.

Pain and Suffering

Pain and suffering includes the physical pain, emotional distress, anxiety, sleep issues, and daily limitations that follow a serious crash. For many cyclists, losing the ability to ride has a profound emotional impact.

Scarring, Disability, or Loss of Mobility

Road rash, fractures, and surgical scars can result in permanent changes that deserve significant compensation.

Loss of Enjoyment of Life

If your injuries limit activities you once loved, like cycling, running, or playing with your kids, you can recover damages for that loss.

Wrongful Death Damages If You Lost a Loved One

We help families recover funeral costs, medical bills, loss of support, and more through wrongful death claims.

Bicycle accidents often lead to severe, life-changing injuries, often far more serious than typical vehicle collisions because cyclists have almost no protection. That’s why it’s critical to recover every dollar the law allows. We carefully document your losses so insurers can’t downplay what you’ve been through.

What to Do After a Bicycle Accident in Miami

A bicycle crash can leave you shaken, injured, and unsure of what to do next. Acting quickly protects your health and your legal rights. Do what matters most after a collision:

1. Get Medical Care Immediately

Cyclists often walk away from a crash, not realizing how seriously they’re hurt. Head, spine, and internal injuries can stay hidden at first, and symptoms that seem minor can quickly become something more. That’s why getting checked out right away matters, not just for your health, but because early medical records play a crucial role in your claim.

Miami is home to some of the state’s Level 1 trauma centers, but the care you receive at places like Ryder Trauma Center or HCA Florida Kendall Hospital can come with a high price tag. We’re here to fight for the compensation you need to cover those costs and protect your recovery.

2. Call the Police and Report the Crash

A police report documents fault, injuries, witness statements, and roadway conditions. Never agree to “handle it privately,” and don’t leave the scene without getting a case number.

3. Preserve Evidence Right Away

Photos and video are powerful in bicycle accident cases. Capture:

• Your injuries
• Damage to your bike and gear
• The driver’s vehicle
• Skid marks, traffic signals, debris, and road conditions

Keep your damaged bike, helmet, and clothing; don’t repair or toss anything.

4. Get Driver and Witness Information

Collect the driver’s insurance, license plate, and contact details.  If there are witnesses, get their names and numbers; independent accounts can make or break a claim.

5. Avoid Giving Statements to Insurance Companies

Insurance adjusters may try to get you to downplay injuries or accept blame. Politely decline and direct them to your attorney.

6. Contact Our Injury Firm as Soon as Possible

We immediately secure time-sensitive evidence like traffic-camera footage, 911 recordings, surveillance video, and bodycam files—materials that often disappear within days. The sooner we get involved, the stronger your case becomes.
