Kissimmee Bicycle Accident Attorney — Fighting for Cyclists
Bicycle accidents in Kissimmee are alarmingly common — and often devastating. Cyclists have virtually no protection in a collision with a car, truck, or SUV. The resulting injuries — traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, broken bones, and severe road rash — can change your life forever.
At HOV Law, our Kissimmee bicycle accident attorneys are dedicated advocates for injured cyclists. We understand that cyclists have every right to be on the road, and we fight to hold negligent drivers accountable when they cause crashes.

Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents in Kissimmee
- Right-Hook Collisions—A driver turns right directly into the path of a cyclist traveling straight. This is one of the most common and preventable bicycle accident scenarios.
- Dooring—A parked driver opens their car door into an approaching cyclist. Dooring accidents can cause severe injuries as the cyclist has no time to react.
- Distracted Driving—Drivers on phones or otherwise distracted fail to notice cyclists sharing the road, leading to collisions at intersections and along roadways.
- Failure to Yield—Drivers who fail to yield to cyclists at intersections, crosswalks, and when turning across bike lanes.
- Unsafe Passing—Drivers passing too closely to cyclists. Many states and localities have minimum safe passing distance laws.
- Road Hazards—Potholes, cracked pavement, debris, and poorly maintained bike lanes that cause cyclists to crash. Kissimmee or the responsible government entity may be liable for road defects.
Bicycle Accident Injuries and Compensation in Florida
Bicycle accident injuries are often severe due to the lack of protection. Common injuries include traumatic brain injuries (even with helmets), broken collarbones, wrist and arm fractures, spinal injuries, severe road rash, and internal organ damage.
Under Florida law (Modified Comparative Negligence system), injured cyclists can recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, bicycle and equipment replacement, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. Florida follows a modified comparative negligence system. If you are found to be more than 50% at fault, you are barred from recovering any damages. Otherwise, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault.
The statute of limitations for bicycle accident claims in Florida is 2 years for negligence (FL Statute § 95.11). Contact HOV Law immediately to protect your rights.
Bicycle Accident Injuries — Why Cases Are High-Value
- Cyclists are uniquely vulnerable in traffic. Unlike motorists, they have no steel frame, airbags, or crumple zones to absorb impact energy. Even "low-speed" collisions with cars can cause life-altering injuries. The most severe bicycle accident injuries include:
- Traumatic brain injuries—head strikes against pavement or vehicles cause TBIs even through helmets. Severe cases result in permanent cognitive impairment.
- Spinal cord injuries—the violent forces in a bicycle collision can cause herniated discs, fractures, and paralysis.
- Clavicle and shoulder fractures—cyclists instinctively extend their arms in a fall, fracturing the collarbone and wrist.
- Facial injuries—facial fractures, dental damage, and eye injuries are common when a cyclist hits the ground or a vehicle.
- Road rash—severe abrasions requiring skin grafts and leaving permanent scarring.
- Because injuries are often severe, bicycle accident cases are frequently high-value claims. Our Kissimmee attorneys work with medical experts to document the full lifetime impact of your injuries and fight for compensation that covers your complete recovery.
Why You Need a Kissimmee Bicycle Accident Attorney
Insurance companies representing drivers consistently blame cyclists for accidents. They claim cyclists ran stop signs, wore dark clothing, had no lights, or made sudden unpredictable movements. Without experienced legal representation, these arguments can destroy your case.
Our Kissimmee bicycle accident attorneys counter these tactics with evidence: police reports, traffic camera footage, eyewitness testimony, and accident reconstruction analysis. We know bicycle traffic laws and can prove exactly how the driver failed to yield, failed to watch for cyclists, or violated safe passing laws.
We also handle third-party claims when road defects — potholes, debris, poor bike lane maintenance — contributed to your crash. These claims can be brought against the city or responsible government entity in addition to or instead of a driver.
We work on contingency — no fees unless we recover compensation for you.
Florida Laws That Affect Your Case

Modified Comparative Negligence
Florida follows a modified comparative negligence system. If you are found to be more than 50% at fault, you are barred from recovering any damages. Otherwise, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault.
Florida Insurance System
Florida operates under a No-Fault (PIP required) system. $10,000 PIP coverage required.
