Cycling is one of the most popular ways to get around Boynton Beach for commuters, recreational riders, and everyone in between. But sharing the road with cars, trucks, and other vehicles puts cyclists in a uniquely vulnerable position.
Without the structural protection of a vehicle around them, a collision that might leave a driver shaken can leave a cyclist with life-changing injuries.
When a driver’s negligence, inattention, or failure to follow the rules of the road causes a bicycle accident, the injured rider deserves to be made whole. The financial, physical, and emotional impact of a serious cycling accident can be overwhelming, and you shouldn’t have to face it alone.
At Brian D. Guralnick Injury Lawyers, our experienced bicycle accident lawyers in Boynton Beach, FL, represent injured cyclists throughout Palm Beach County.
We understand that after a serious accident, you need more than just legal representation—you need people who genuinely care about what you’re going through.
If you were injured because of someone else’s negligence, our team is ready to help you Demand More®.
Most bicycle accidents are caused not by the rider, but by the negligence of drivers or unsafe road conditions.
Under Florida Statute 316.2065, cyclists have the same rights and responsibilities on public roads as motor vehicle drivers—and drivers are legally required to treat them accordingly. When they don’t, and a cyclist is injured as a result, the driver may be held liable for the full extent of the rider’s losses.
Common causes include:
Even if you believe you may have been partially at fault for the accident, you could still be entitled to compensation. Florida’s comparative negligence rules mean that another party’s fault can still give rise to a valid claim.
An experienced bicycle accident attorney can evaluate the full circumstances and advise you on your options.
The absence of any structural protection means bicycle accidents frequently result in serious injuries. Cyclists commonly suffer:
Injuries sustained in bicycle accidents can require extensive medical treatment, lengthy rehabilitation, and significant time away from work. The long-term financial impact, on top of the physical and emotional toll, makes it essential to pursue the full compensation you are entitled to.
Because cyclists are generally not covered by Florida’s no-fault personal injury protection (PIP) system—under Florida Statute 627.732—compensation must typically be pursued directly from the at-fault party. Depending on the circumstances of your case, this could include:
Every case is different, and the compensation available will depend on the specific facts, including the severity of your injuries and the extent of the other party’s negligence. An experienced bicycle accident attorney can evaluate your situation and help you understand what may be possible in your case.
Most claims are resolved through settlement, but we prepare every case as if it will go to trial. If litigation becomes necessary, you’ll be represented by our Board Certified Civil Trial Lawyer, a distinction held by only about 1% of Florida attorneys.

Most recently, he earned this recognition after more than 150,000 votes were cast across all award categories—a reflection of the trust and confidence our clients and community have placed in our firm for more than three decades.
At high-volume injury firms, cases are often processed in bulk. Clients get passed between staff, often waiting weeks for updates, and they rarely speak with the attorney actually handling their case. That model may work for the firm’s bottom line, but it doesn’t work for you.
At Brian D. Guralnick Injury Lawyers, we operate differently:
We invest in the latest legal tools and case management systems. Not to automate your case, but to free up our attorneys to spend more time with you. Technology handles the administrative load; our people handle your case. You get the efficiency of a modern firm with the personal attention of a boutique one.

When you become a client, you’re supported by an entire team. Everyone on your team is familiar with your case, reachable when you have questions, and committed to keeping you informed throughout. You’ll never wonder what’s happening with your case.

If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in a bicycle accident in Boynton Beach, don’t wait to seek legal guidance.
Evidence disappears quickly—surveillance footage is overwritten, road conditions change, and witness memories fade. The sooner you have an attorney working on your behalf, the better protected your claim will be.
Our experienced team is ready to evaluate your situation, answer your questions, and explain your legal options during a free consultation.

They all went above and beyond my expectations, and did an excellent job for me. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is in need of this kind of service.
I chose Brian Guralnick for my personal injury case because of my experience with Brian on a previous business relationship that I had with him many years ago. At that time I could tell that this man was detail oriented and passionate and caring. This was my very first experience with a personal injury lawsuit and Brian and his team very professionally advised me and compassionately guided me at every turn. My case was settled much faster than I had expected and for a settlement amount that was higher than I expected. When Brian says that he will “Demand More”, he is absolutely telling the truth. Brian and his team absolutely know what they are doing.
