According to Consumer Reports, there are 10 steps you should do after a bike accident. Where all are important, I believe these steps are essential for your safety and recovery:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Get to safety.<\/strong> This will prevent more damage from occurring.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Contact the police.<\/strong> It is important to make sure there is a police report.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seek medical attention.<\/strong> Often, injuries are not immediately apparent. Don&#8217;t wait, seek medical attention at your local emergency room or by seeing your family physician right away.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Get your bike checked.<\/strong> Take your bike to a shop to have a professional assess any damages.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Get Legal Help.<\/strong> Most importantly, consult with an <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.rhinolawyers.com\/es\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">auto accident lawyer<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>PROPER SAFETY COULD PREVENT A BIKE ACCIDENT<\/h2>\n<p>Bicycle safety is important for both the cyclist and motorist. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flhsmv.gov\/safety-center\/child-safety\/bicycle-pedestrian-safety\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">FLSMV<\/a> (Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles) states motorists must pay special attention when driving around cyclists. Here are some safety tips for everyone to follow:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Motorists<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Drivers MUST give bicyclists a minimum of three feet of clearance when driving alongside or passing them. It\u2019s the law.<\/li>\n<li>When turning, yield to any bicyclist in the bike lane and make your turn behind the cyclist.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid using high beam headlights when you see a bicyclist approaching.<\/li>\n<li>Before opening a car door, check for bicyclists who may be approaching from behind.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cyclist<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Always wear a properly fitted helmet and securely fasten the strap.<\/li>\n<li>Be seen. Wear bright colors when riding or wear something that reflects light (reflective shoes, reflective tape, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>Pay attention. Do not wear headphones so that you can hear the traffic and pedestrians around you. Never text and ride.<\/li>\n<li>Ride in the same direction as traffic and stay as far to the right as possible. Use bike lanes whenever you can.<\/li>\n<li>Obey all traffic laws, including signs, signals, and lane markings, when riding on the roadway. If crossing a roadway upon or along a crosswalk, abide by pedestrian crossing guidelines.<\/li>\n<li>If riding between the hours of sunset and sunrise, Florida Law requires that the front of the bike be equipped with a headlight lamp which exhibits a white light visible for 500 feet, and the rear of the bike equipped with a taillight lamp and reflector visible for 600 feet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>CONTACTO<\/h2>\n<p>If you are a victim of a bike-car accident don\u2019t struggle through the process alone.
