Florida's mild year-round temperatures make cycling an ideal way to explore the state. Many Floridians of all ages regularly bike to work or school or just for fun. Unfortunately, bicycle accidents happen. And when they do, the injuries can often be very serious.
Knowing what to do after such a serious accident can be very confusing. Even knowing what your rights are as an injured cyclist might not be clear. It's important to talk to an attorney as soon as possible about your crash, especially if you were hurt on a bike involved in an auto accident.
That's why we want to meet with you. At the Law Offices of Brent C. Miller, P.A., we know what you're going through. Our experienced attorneys have helped numerous cyclists get the money they deserve after their crash.
When a car or truck collides with a bicycle, the car or truck will always win. Despite the law stating that motor vehicles and bicycles should share the road, too many negligent motorists drive recklessly and fail to watch for bicycles, then point the finger at cyclists when they get hurt.
Our Florida bicycle accident lawyers will not allow a negligent motorist to blame you for your injuries. We will hold the responsible party accountable for his or her negligence and pursue all available sources of compensation. Our goal is to maximize your recovery for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages and other damages.
In the hours and days after a bicycle accident, it is important to have an attorney interviewing witnesses and examining evidence to preserve your claim. Our experienced lawyers know exactly what to do and how to find the evidence that matters.
We will pursue all available sources of compensation to make sure you have the resources you need now and in the future. Beyond personal injury protection (PIP) coverage, we will take on the insurance company of the negligent driver and seek any available compensation on your own policy. For example, if you were struck by a motorist without insurance, we may be able to obtain compensation through your auto policy's uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.
If fault is disputed, we will employ experts - such as accident reconstruction experts - to examine the evidence and bolster our case. We will also seek out witnesses who may have seen negligent behavior such as the motorist:
