If I am injured while riding my bicycle in Florida, can I sue the driver that hit me?
You can sue the driver of a motor vehicle that strikes you while you’re operating a bicycle, and the same laws would apply as would be the circumstance where two motor vehicles are involved. There are certain things that a bicyclist does not have to prove that an operator of a motor vehicle would need to prove in order to establish liability on the adverse party. Overall, the rules are the same and the opportunity to be compensated for any legitimate loss or damage that has been suffered as a result of the operator of a motor vehicle being negligent is substantially the same.
