Florida is famous for its white sandy beaches and sunshine, and infamous for holding the title of one of the most dangerous states for bicyclists. Newberry, with its many parks and cycling routes, contributes to that title.

As you focus on your recovery, we want to help smooth the way toward a legal option that gets your life back to normal, or as close to normal as possible.

Trust Our Bicycle Accident Attorneys to Advocate for You
Our firm has practiced personal injury law since 1971. In that time, we’ve cultivated a reputation of offering tenacious legal advocacy coupled with our passion for helping our friends and neighbors. It’s why we’re the official law firm partner of the Florida Gators.
Securing settlements and verdicts for our clients is always our goal, but nothing speaks to us more than the positive comments they leave behind. Our client Estee’s experience reflects the feedback we’ve received from many of those we’ve served over the years:
- “I am pleased with the level of service and level of communication I’ve received so far from everyone at Meldon Law. Sheila is absolutely amazing, she is super caring and is always checking in with me and remembering what’s going on in my daily life. I feel like she has become more of a friend and a confidant . . . Angel actually saw my story on Facebook and reached out to me and was comforting and reassuring about the situation I have been facing. I have recommended a couple people to them already and I know they will do everything they can to help people who without Meldon Law might not have been able to help themselves . . . 10 out of 10.”
We have no doubt that at the conclusion of our partnership, you’ll feel the same way about our tireless advocacy. You can meet our team and learn about their passion for helping injured claimants during your free case review.
How Our Newberry Bike Accident Attorneys Support Your Personal Injury Claim
At Meldon Law, our injury lawyers are your fiercest advocates. When our bike accident attorneys take on your case, we intend to:
- Account for all of your losses
- Investigate the accident
- Prove the other party’s liability by pulling police and medical records, reviewing traffic camera video, and delving into the motorist’s driving record
- Manage all case-related communications
- Negotiate with the insurance company for a full and fair settlement
- File a lawsuit and pursue fair compensation via litigation (if necessary)
Throughout our partnership, you can expect timely updates and a shoulder to lean on during this challenging time. We’re more than your lawyers; we’re your friends and allies.
Our Clients Pay Nothing to Partner With Our Bicycle Accident Attorneys
At Meldon Law, we offer free initial consultations where you can learn more about your next steps and legal options. This discussion is your opportunity to share what happened and ask your most pressing questions. It’s also a chance to learn more about how we represent injured people on a contingency-fee basis.
With this arrangement, you don’t pay our attorney’s fees until the successful conclusion of your case. You owe nothing if your case doesn’t yield compensation. Our paychecks are contingent on your case’s outcome.
Our Lawyers Abide by the State’s Statute of Limitations
Florida grants two years from the date of your bicycle accident to file a personal injury lawsuit against the negligent party. If you don’t file your lawsuit within that two-year timeframe, you could lose the right to seek damages.
Some exceptions to the statute of limitations could extend your filing period, giving you more time to act. Yet, you shouldn’t make any assumptions about your case without consulting your bicycle accident attorney from Meldon Law. Our team in Newberry can file your case within the appropriate parameters and advise you on your next steps.
You Can Seek the Compensation You Deserve With Our Newberry Accident Attorneys
Florida is a no-fault state. Following an accident, you can file a claim with your personal injury protection (PIP) coverage, which should account for some of your medical bills and some of your lost income. Yet, given the severity of bicycle collisions, this coverage might not even put a dent in your losses.
Our team intends to take your personal injury claim all the way to the end zone. With that, we aim to secure financial compensation that accounts for your:
Economic Damages
Economic damages reflect your financial losses. They generally come with receipts and invoices that our attorneys can use to calculate them. Examples include:
- Medical care costs, including anticipated medical expenses
- Lost income, tips, bonuses, and benefits
- Loss of future earnings
- Property damage costs (such as the replacement of your bicycle)
Our Newberry personal injury attorneys can also recover the cost of anything you spent out of pocket on childcare costs, temporary transportation arrangements, and in-home help.
Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages are hard to quantify because they don’t come with documentation. They’re subjective, meaning their values depend on your quality of life, mental anguish, and emotional distress. These losses may comprise a significant portion of your Newberry bicycle accident settlement, and they may include:
- Pain and suffering
- Disability
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Loss of consortium
We intend to pursue the highest possible settlement for your Newberry bicycle accident claim. You can learn more about your rights, options, and the benefits of securing legal representation during your free case review.
