Introduction
Cycling through St. Augustine’s Historic District, the Vilano Beach causeway, or along A1A’s scenic highway is a favorite activity for both locals and visitors. But when a bicycle accident happens, it can leave riders facing serious injuries, medical bills, and uncertainty about their rights. Knowing what to do immediately after a crash can protect your health and strengthen your case.
At St. Johns Law Group, our attorneys — including personal injury lawyer Josh Saxon — represent injured cyclists across St. Johns County, Ponte Vedra, Palm Coast, Jacksonville, and Northeast Florida.
Step 1: Seek Medical Attention
Even if your injuries seem minor, bicycle accidents can cause concussions, internal bleeding, and spinal injuries. Medical records also serve as important evidence.
Step 2: Report the Accident
Always call law enforcement to file a report. A police report documents the crash, identifies the driver, and strengthens your legal claim.
Step 3: Collect Evidence
Take photos of your bike, the vehicle involved, the crash location, and your injuries. Gather witness contact information if possible.
Step 4: Be Careful with Insurance Adjusters
Insurance companies may try to blame the cyclist or minimize your injuries. Avoid recorded statements until you speak with an attorney.
Step 5: Contact a Bicycle Accident Lawyer
A lawyer can investigate liability, negotiate with insurers, and pursue maximum compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Josh Saxon and the St. Johns Law Group team are experienced in representing cyclists throughout Northeast Florida.
Why Bicycle Accidents Are Unique in St. Augustine
Historic roads, high tourist traffic, and narrow bike lanes create added dangers for cyclists. Local knowledge of A1A, US-1, and the Vilano Bridge gives our attorneys an advantage when handling these claims.
