Clearwater Bicycle Accident Lawyers

Representing Injured Cyclists Across Tampa Bay and Florida

Experienced Representation for Bicycle Accident Victims

Bicycling is a popular way to commute, exercise, and enjoy the Florida weather. From neighborhood streets to busy roadways throughout Clearwater and the Tampa Bay area, cyclists share the road with motor vehicles every day. Unfortunately, when a collision occurs between a bicycle and a car or truck, the cyclist is often the one who suffers the most serious injuries.

At Tanney, Griffith & Bresler, P.A., we represent individuals injured in bicycle accidents throughout Clearwater, Pinellas County, Hillsborough County, Pasco County, and across Florida. Since 1956, our firm has focused exclusively on representing injured individuals and their families. We do not represent insurance companies or corporations. Our goal is to help injured cyclists pursue accountability and fair compensation after a serious accident.

Bicycle Accidents in Clearwater and the Tampa Bay Area

Clearwater and the surrounding Tampa Bay communities offer many opportunities for cyclists. However, busy intersections, heavy traffic, and distracted driving continue to create dangerous conditions for those riding bicycles.

Many bicycle accidents occur because drivers fail to share the road safely. Common causes of bicycle accidents include:

  • Drivers failing to yield to cyclists
  • Distracted driving
  • Unsafe turns at intersections
  • Drivers opening car doors into cyclists
  • Speeding or aggressive driving
  • Failure to check blind spots
  • Following too closely
  • Driving under the influence
Even when cyclists follow traffic laws and ride defensively, they may still be placed at risk by negligent drivers.

Serious Injuries in Bicycle Accidents

Because cyclists have limited protection, bicycle accidents often result in serious injuries. A collision with a motor vehicle can lead to significant medical treatment, time away from work, and long-term recovery.

Common bicycle accident injuries include:

  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Broken bones
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Neck and back injuries
  • Road rash and abrasions
  • Internal injuries
  • Soft tissue injuries
Some injuries may require ongoing medical care or rehabilitation. Our attorneys work to understand how your injuries affect your health, your work, and your daily life.

Determining Responsibility in a Bicycle Accident

Bicycle accident cases often require careful investigation. In some situations, drivers may claim they did not see the cyclist or attempt to shift blame. Establishing the facts is important to protecting your claim.

Our attorneys may review:

  • Police reports
  • Witness statements
  • Accident scene evidence
  • Medical records
  • Surveillance or dash camera footage when available
  • Expert analysis when necessary

Our goal is to determine how the accident occurred and identify the responsible parties.

Compensation After a Bicycle Accident

If you were injured due to another party’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses. Bicycle accident claims often involve significant injuries and long-term recovery.

Compensation may include:

  • Medical expenses
  • Future medical care and rehabilitation
  • Lost income and reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Long-term disability or impairment
  • Property damage, including bicycle replacement

We evaluate each case carefully and, when appropriate, work with experts to understand the long-term financial and personal impact of your injuries.
