Bicycle Accidents in Florida

Bicycle accidents are some of the most devastating accidents on Florida roads due to the fact that bicyclists have few protections from harm. This means that they are prone to some of the worst injuries like spinal cord injuries, internal organ damage, road rash, and many other injuries.
