In your experience as a attorney in South Florida, is there kind of like a clear, maybe commonality, between accidents that occur in bicycle accidents? You know, obviously it could be a number of things, but has anything arisen that jumps out at you?

Definitely cell phone usage.

Really?

If you can imagine taking your eyes off the wheel at 55 or 60 miles an hour, and you take your eyes off of the road for 10 seconds, what it takes to look down, it doesn’t take a lot to hit a pack of cyclists or one cyclist that’s to your right-hand side and your car drifts over to the right just a little bit.
It happens daily, daily. If you can pick up any newspaper within the state of Florida, you will find at least one accident per day, car versus cyclist.

The most common factor has got to be cell phone usage. You took your eyes off the road for a second, for two seconds, and the next thing you know, you struck somebody.
