Florida's mild year-round temperatures make cycling an ideal way to explore the state. Many Floridians of all ages regularly bike to work, school, or just for fun. Unfortunately, bicycle accidents happen. And when they do, bike injuries can often be very severe.
Knowing what to do after such a serious accident can be very confusing. Even knowing your rights as an injured cyclist might not be clear. Therefore, 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 Central Florida bicycle accident attorneys have helped numerous injured cyclists get the money they deserve.
What are common causes of bicycle accidents?
If fault for your bicycle accident 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:
Is this how your bicycle accident happened? Or are you dealing with a different situation where a driver hit your bike? Whatever the circumstances of your crash, we can fight for your rights and build a strong legal case in support of your injury claim or bicycle accident lawsuit.
Injuries sustained by cyclists hit by a car can cover a wide range. Common bicycle accident injuries include:
Many other bicycle accident injuries often occur due to serious bike accidents. If you were knocked off your bike and hit by a car, take your bike injury seriously right from the start. See a doctor right away. Then talk to our law firm. Our Florida bicycle accident lawyers can help you every step of the way.
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 in Florida, 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. Instead, we will hold the responsible party accountable for their 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 compensation sources to ensure you have the resources you need now and in the future. Beyond personal injury protection (PIP) coverage, we will take on the negligent driver's insurance company 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. Other options for obtaining financial compensation may be possible. That’s why it’s critical that you talk to a Florida bicycle accident attorney as soon as possible.
Drivers who hit a cyclist riding alongside the road need to be held accountable for their actions. If you or a loved one has suffered an injury in a bicycle accident, you can rely on us to maximize your compensation.
