With a massive beachfront and large tourist population, Miami is a hotbed for cyclists. Unfortunately, the scenic views and great weather don’t come without their fair share of mishaps. As one might expect, bicycle accidents are very common in the Miami Beach area.
If you’ve been a victim of a bike accident in the Miami Beach area, you may be entitled to compensation. At Elstein Legal, our team specializes in bicycle accidents and can help you through every step of the legal process.
Miami Beach Bicycle Accidents
Did you know that bike accident deaths have increased by 38% since 2010? Having a serious accident on a bike is becoming more and more commonplace by the day. If you’ve been on the wrong end of a bike accident, you’re not alone. According to the CDC, there were some 467,000 bicycle-related injuries in the United States in 2015. Another CDC study stated that total medical costs and productivity losses from bicycle injuries were upwards of $10 billion.
If you’re among this year’s hundreds of thousands of victims, you may be eligible for compensation. Whether it’s helping you cover the cost of medical bills or pursuing the lost wages you’ve encountered during recovery, our Miami Beach team can help. However, we’ll need to identify your injuries first.
Types of Bike Accident Injuries in Miami Beach
In the aftermath of an accident, there are a number of injuries you could have potentially suffered. Some examples of common injuries include (but are not limited to):
- Facial fractures
- Dental fractures
- Hernias
- Contusions
- Concussions and other head trauma
- Pancreatic trauma
These injuries can result in thousands of dollars in medical expenses that you may not have the money to pay for. If you find yourself in such a situation, don’t become another statistic. Our team can provide the help you need to get your life back on track.
Beyond Bike Accident Injuries
Although addressing physical injuries and ailments is and should be your first priority, the issues don’t stop there. Unfortunately, there are a slew of issues that can plague you long after your accident. Whether it’s identifying lost wages or addressing non-financial issues like pain and suffering, a Miami Beach personal injury lawyer can help.
When you go it alone in our ever changing legal system, you run the risk of settling for the first amount that you’ve been offered. Like any other business, insurance companies prioritize their bottom line and are not properly incentivized to help you receive the compensation you need.
For example, you may have suffered a broken leg from a Miami Beach bicycle accident. In this scenario, walking on crutches or being confined to a wheelchair may render you unable to work. If this is the case, you may miss out on wages you would normally be capable of earning. Our experienced team can help.
