Bicycle Accidents Can Be Serious !

At The Dellutri Law Group, we have had the pleasure of helping many individuals injured in bicycle accidents. Bicycle accidents can cause very serious and permanent injuries. Usually, it is a careless driver or landowner which causes the bicycle accident.

Did you know that Bicycle riders were required to obey all the traffic laws in Florida? This pertains to children as well. All bicycle riders should wear helmets and any other protective gear they have. If you are a bicycle rider, please be careful and drive your bicycle defensively.

Now more than ever people are turning to their bicycles as an alternative means of transportation, whether it be for economic reasons or exercise, people are driving bicycles in record numbers, and unfortunately, more and more injuries are occurring. Some of these injuries are happening to children, and most of the injuries could have been prevented.

Another unfortunate event is careless drivers who would rather text message than pay attention to the road. My Partner, Amanda Downing recently wrote a blog on the horrors of texting while driving.

If you or anyone you know was injured or died in a bicycle accident in Fort Myers, Port Charlotte, Naples or Sarasota, contact the Dellutri Law Group immediately and schedule a free initial consultation. At your consultation, you may be surprised to find out that the driver of the vehicle may be at fault, the landowner may have some liability or that the bicycle contains a manufacturers defect.

All of our personal injury cases are taken on a contingency fee basis. Our firm will not ask you to pay for cost and fees unless and until you make a recovery on your case.
