The Devastating Impact of Bicycle Crashes in Miami
Bicycle crashes often cause serious injuries, disrupting the lives of bike riders and preventing them from enjoying Miami’s outdoor culture. Medical bills pile up fast, and the emotional strain of recovery can feel overwhelming. Kaiser Romanello’s Miami bicycle accident attorneys craft strong claims to cover every loss, from physical injuries to emotional distress.
- Common Injuries: Broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, road rash, or spinal damage.
- Local Statistics: In 2022, Miami-Dade County reported 1,027 bicycle crashes, with 7 fatalities (Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles).
- High-Risk Areas: Busy roadways like Biscayne Boulevard or Rickenbacker Causeway pose unique dangers.

Our law firm digs into every detail, from police reports to traffic camera footage, to hold negligent drivers accountable under Florida law. We serve cyclists in Miami-Dade County and nearby areas like Hialeah and Hollywood, ensuring your claim reflects the full scope of your bicycle accident injuries, including long-term medical needs.
Why Insurance Companies Deny Bicycle Accident Claims
Insurance companies often shift blame to bicyclists to avoid payouts, using tactics that can leave victims with far less than they deserve. Kaiser Romanello’s bike accident attorneys counter these strategies with solid evidence and aggressive negotiations to protect your legal rights.
Common Insurer Tactics:
- Claiming bike riders ignored traffic laws or weren’t visible on roads like Ocean Drive.
- Arguing injuries aren’t as severe as reported, minimizing medical costs.
- Blaming heavy traffic or distracted driving as unavoidable.
Florida’s Modified Comparative Fault Rule:
- Allows recovery if you’re less than 50% at fault (e.g., 30% fault reduces compensation by 30%).
- Our attorneys work to minimize your fault and maximize your payout.
Our Approach:
- Collaborate with medical experts to document injury severity.
- Use witness statements, accident scene photos, and traffic camera footage.
- Negotiate with insurers or take claims to court if needed.
We ensure your bicycle accident claim accounts for future medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering, protecting you from insurance traps across Miami-Dade County and nearby Fort Lauderdale.
