Call UsWe Will Aggressively Pursue Your Bicycle Accident Damages
Our goal is to get full and fair compensation for your injury so you have the resources you need to heal. Our bicycle accident lawyer in Fairfield, FL, will exhaust every avenue for recovering your damages. We have experience with:
- Personal injury protection (PIP) claims ā If you or someone in your household carries a personal injury protection (PIP) policy that covers you, it should pay for your medical treatment and provide disability benefits, regardless of who caused the bicycle accident. If you do not have PIP coverage, we can turn to the vehicle driverās PIP policy for compensation.
- Auto liability claims ā If your injuries are severe and you have medical expenses that exceed the available PIP coverage, you can seek compensation from the at-fault party. Florida does not require that motorists carry bodily injury liability insurance, but drivers can opt to include this coverage. If the driver who hurt you has an auto liability policy, our Fairfield car accident attorneys will pursue a claim.
- Personal injury lawsuits ā We can also hold negligent parties accountable with legal action. If necessary, we will seek damages with a personal injury lawsuit in civil court.
The facts of your case will determine how much compensation you can recover and the types of damages you can pursue. In general, a bicycle accident settlement or verdict may include:
- Current and future medical expenses
- Lost income and lost future earning capacity
- Household services
- Physical pain and suffering
- Emotional distress and mental anguish
- Diminished quality of life

Our Bicycle Accident Attorneys in Fairfield, FL, Will Prove Negligence Caused Your Injury
According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FHSMV), state law regards bicycles as motor vehicles and affords them the same rights and privileges as automobiles. So, for example, when vehicle drivers encounter bike riders, they must yield the right-of-way when called for, afford them use of an entire traffic lane, and give them ample room when passing, just like they would another car.
Our bicycle collision attorneys in Fairfield can prove that a liable driver is responsible for your damages if their negligence caused your injury. Examples of negligent driving that could cause a bike crash include:
- Running a stop sign or red light
- Making an improper turn
- Tailgating a bicycle
- Driving in a bike-only lane
- Drinking and driving
- Texting and driving and other forms of distracted driving
- Aggressive or reckless driving
If there are other parties who caused or contributed to your crash, we will identify them and pursue a claim against them. Other potentially liable parties may include a driverās employer, another bicyclist, a negligent pedestrian, or the manufacturer of a defective bicycle or auto part.

Floridaās Bicycle Accident Statute of Limitations
Florida Statutes Ā§ 95.11 allows two years to file a personal injury lawsuit in civil court. You also have two years to file a wrongful death case.
