We 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 – 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 driver’s PIP policy for compensation.
  • Auto liability claims – 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 – 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

If your family member sustained a fatal bicycle accident injury, our Fairfield wrongful death attorneys can fight for justice on behalf of their estate and survivors.

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 driver’s employer, another bicyclist, a negligent pedestrian, or the manufacturer of a defective bicycle or auto part.

We Handle Severe and Catastrophic Injury Claims

Unlike a car, bicycles do not have cabs, airbags, seatbelts, or other safety features that protect vehicle occupants in a crash. Because of this, riders can suffer devastating injuries in a collision.

Our Fairfield lawyers are equipped to handle catastrophic injury cases. We will work tirelessly to ensure you or your loved one has the resources to pay for your long-term healthcare needs and life care when necessary. We can help with accidents involving:

  • Multiple bone fractures
  • Back, neck, and shoulder injuries
  • Loss of limb
  • Loss of a bodily function
  • Loss of mobility
  • Head injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Internal injuries

Florida’s Bicycle Accident Statute of Limitations

Florida Statutes § 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.
