Bicycle Accident Attorney in Myrtle Beach

In Myrtle Beach and throughout Florida, bicycle accidents can happen due to various reasons. Here are a few examples:

• collisions with cars, often at intersections or when a car turns across a bike lane;
• when a car door opens in front of a cyclist;
• manufacturing defects that affect how the bicycle functions;
• drivers operating vehicles while under the influence of drugs or alcohol;
• drivers failing to give cyclists the right of way in places they should; and
• poor road conditions, like potholes or debris.

Common evidence in such cases often includes photos of the accident scene, your bike, and your injuries. Witness statements can be really powerful, along with a police report if one was made. 

Showing your injuries and their impact can help strengthen the case. You can do this by obtaining medical records and bills. 

If you lost income because you couldn't work after the accident, evidence like pay stubs helps add more weight to your case and also maximize your claim. If the accident was due to road issues, photos or reports of the road condition can support your claim when filing against a government entity or the agency responsible for road maintenance.
