Bicycle Accident Cases We Handle
When a driver hits a cyclist, the rider almost always gets the worst of it. West Law Firm fights for cyclists across Hawthorne, Florida.
Right-Turn & Left-Cross Collisions
Drivers turning across a bike lane or cyclist’s path. Often the most disputed liability scenario.
Dooring Accidents
A parked driver opens the door into the cyclist’s path. Florida law typically holds the door-opener responsible.
Drivers Failing to Yield
At intersections, driveways, or merges where the driver simply did not see the cyclist.
Hit-and-Run Cyclist Crashes
Recovery often comes through your own uninsured motorist coverage — we know how to maximize it.
Crashes from Road Hazards
Potholes, debris, or poorly maintained roads can support claims against a city, county, or property owner.
Distracted Driver Crashes
Texting and inattentive drivers cause a disproportionate share of cyclist injuries.

Bicycle Accidents in Hawthorne & Alachua County
Local knowledge that matters when your case is filed in Alachua County.
Where Bicycle Crashes Happen
Bicycle crashes around Hawthorne happen where riders share the road with traffic on US‑301, State Road 20 (Hawthorne Road), and SR‑26, and at the points where the Gainesville–Hawthorne State Trail meets local streets. Drivers who fail to look for cyclists at intersections and driveways cause many of the most serious crashes.
Where You’ll Be Treated
Hawthorne does not have a hospital of its own, so people seriously injured here are typically transported about 20 miles to UF Health Shands Hospital or HCA Florida North Florida Hospital in Gainesville. We work directly with the billing departments, ER physicians, and lien holders at the Gainesville hospitals that treat most Alachua County patients.
Where Your Case Will Be Heard
Because Hawthorne is in Alachua County, these cases are filed in the Alachua County Courthouse — part of the Eighth Judicial Circuit — at 201 E University Avenue in Gainesville. Our office is just steps from the courthouse, and we are there regularly for our Alachua County cases.
Serving Hawthorne Bicycle Accident Victims
Our office is in downtown Gainesville, a short drive up US‑301 from Hawthorne and minutes from the Alachua County Courthouse. We represent injury victims and families throughout Hawthorne and across North Central Florida.
