Our client tragically lost his life when a distracted golf cart driver crashed into our client while he was riding his bicycle. Our client was an avid cyclist and was riding his usual route when a golf cart made a left turn and cut across our client’s bike path. The impact of the collision was so severe that our client was knocked off his bicycle into the air and landed in the roadway. Due to the golf cart driver’s failure to adhere to standard traffic regulations and exercise due caution, our client was tragically killed. Our office is pursuing a wrongful death action on behalf of the surviving family.

Traumatic Brain Injury

Our client was severely injured in an intersection crash. She suffered two (2) significant “jolts” – the first from when she was T-boned in the intersection, and the second from when the original impact caused her to strike a utility pole. The crash caused highly painful low back injuries, initially forcing the client to undergo aggressive pain management, including radiofrequency ablations (nerve burning). A highly compelling, emotional video was prepared featuring testimony from the client and her Aunt about the mental, emotional, and physical problems the client has faced since the crash. The case settled pre-suit for $500,000.00.

Car Accident

Our client was a driving on a curved road in a residential neighborhood in South Florida at midnight when he was struck head-on by a high-performance sportscar traveling at a very high rate of speed. One of the witnesses to the crash was a U.S. Army Officer who saw the sportscar literally “fly through the median” prior to striking our client’s vehicle. Fortunately, the at-fault vehicle initially struck bushes and knocked over a palm tree prior to the collision, otherwise the injuries to our client most likely would have been fatal. A life care plan for the client was prepared by a highly qualified, well respected certified life care planner hired by our firm, and ultimately, the case settled for $500,000.00.

$450,000

Motorcycle Accident

How We Recover Compensation for Our Clients

In most bicycle accident cases, someone is at fault. It is often a motorist, but there are other potentially liable parties. Under Florida’s modified comparative negligence law, you can seek compensation if you are less than 51 percent responsible for your injuries (Florida Statutes § 768.81).

To build your case, we:

Identify those responsible and use our legal knowledge to demand maximum compensation on your behalf.
Gather and examine the evidence, which might include photos of the accident scene and your injuries, police reports, witness statements, and traffic camera footage.
Establish liability by showing that the at-fault party failed to take reasonable measures, such as yielding the right of way or looking in both directions at an intersection.
File a detailed claim against the party’s insurance company, often the driver’s auto insurance policy. We can also help you file a claim with your insurer if an uninsured motorist hits you.
Negotiate a fair settlement that adequately covers all the ways the accident has impacted you

At Meldon Law, your fight is our fight. We don’t shy away from going to trial if necessary. To get us started on your case, call now for a free consultation.

How Negligence Causes Bicycle Accidents in Aventura

According to the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles department, there were 972 reported bicycle accidents in Miami-Dade County, with 902 injuries and 19 fatalities in 2023. Some common causes of these accidents include:

Distracted Drivers: Anything that takes a driver’s attention from the road ahead, whether it’s a cell phone or a talkative passenger, can result in a bicycle accident.
Unsafe Passing: Motorists often miscalculate the distance needed to pass a bicyclist safely. Bicycles are small and difficult to see, and these characteristics add to the potential danger.
Door Accidents: Drivers often fail to check the bike lane before opening their door and injure cyclists in the process.
Impaired Drivers: Drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs have slower reflexes and may fail to act in time to avoid the crash.
Speeding: Driving too fast doesn’t allow drivers sufficient time or space for safe reactions and increases the force of impact.

Florida’s Deadline for Personal Injury Lawsuits

Under Florida Statutes § 95.11, you have two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, you should explore your legal options as soon as you can. You do not want to risk evidence being lost or misplaced. Witnesses relocate, pass away, or have fading memories. Our team will manage the deadlines on your behalf.
