How to Make Your Bike Rides Safer

Your health and safety should always be a top priority. Here are some tips that will enhance your safety on your next ride:

  • Always signal when you are turning
  • Use a bell or call out to pedestrians so they know you are coming
  • Never ride against traffic
  • Avoid busy streets and slow down when you come to intersections

Understanding How Fault is Determined in Florida

Some people have the false impression that if they were the victims of an accident, then they are entitled to the total amount of a claim. However, Florida is a comparative fault state. That means that the court will determine what percentage of the accident was each party’s fault and distribute damages accordingly.

Say, for example, that you were riding against the traffic flow and did not stop at a stop sign before you were struck by a vehicle. The court might grant your claim, but they also determine that you had 50% responsibility for the accident. In this case, your awarded claim might be reduced by half to be commensurate with your amount of fault in the event.
