Miami Springs is a city in Miami-Dade County and was founded by the Father of Naval Aviation, Glenn Hammond Curtiss in the 1920s. The area was originally called Country Club Estates and was one of several initial planned communities in the state. Like some surrounding areas, Miami Springs is meant to have a particular architectural style—the Pueblo Revival, which is predominantly used in New Mexico and throughout the southwest of the U.S.

The city was incorporated in 1926 and shortly after, renamed at a local freshwater spring. As of 2018, the estimated population of Miami Springs is more than 14,300 people within 3 square miles. The Miami International Airport is located just south of the city, and throughout the city’s life, it has been connected with the aviation industry. The bankruptcy of Eastern Airlines and Pan American World Airways caused economic distress in the area.

In many ways, Miami Springs can feel like a small town instead of being located in a major metropolitan area. Children and adults often feel free and safe in riding their bikes. Yet, bicycle-vehicle collisions do happen as well as other types of bicycle accidents.

If you were on a rented Citi bike, Lime bike, or SPIN bike, let us know immediately. We will look into whether your accident had anything to do with a bike defect, lack of maintenance on the bike, lack of safety and user training, or some other element controlled by the business.

Our Miami Springs bicycle accident attorneys have successfully handled cases involving rental bikes before. These bikes are often heavily and inappropriately used as well as poorly maintained. Your accident and injuries may be a result of a defect or the bike malfunctioning.

You want your child to ride their bike. You want them to have fun, be able to visit with nearby friends, and be active and healthy. But when your child is in a serious bike accident, this can have long-term consequences for their life. Serious or catastrophic injuries could result in a physical disability at an early age—one that could impact their ability to lead a normal life, participate in certain hobbies, and to enter certain professions. Your child may sustain a disfigurement, which will negatively affect their social life and romantic prospects as an adult.

We take all of this into consideration when we fight for compensation for a minor injured in a bike crash.

Following a serious bicycle accident, the best thing you can do is talk to a lawyer about your legal rights and options. You may be entitled to pursue compensation for your or your minor child’s injuries through an insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit. If your loved one passed away from their bicycle accident injuries, you may have the right to demand wrongful death compensation.

Our team at Gerson & Schwartz P.A. will advise you of your options, and when appropriate, guide you through the litigation and insurance claim process. Contact us at (305) 371-6000 or email us at info@gslawusa.com.
