Bicycle Injuries Lawyer in FL
When you’ve experienced a bicycle accident, the aftermath can feel overwhelming. Between medical bills, potential loss of wages, and the physical and emotional distress, dealing with the situation becomes a complex process. That’s where we, at the Law Office of Shannon J. Sagan, PA, step in to support you in your journey to recovery.
Unfortunately, bicycle accidents in Florida are far more common than any of us would like. Florida leads the nation in bicycle fatalities, with the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles reporting over 6,000 bicycle crashes in 2020 alone. These accidents often result in serious injuries and, in worst cases, fatalities. The impact on victims and their families is profound, with ramifications affecting all aspects of their lives. If you are a victim of a bicycle accident in Florida, we are here to help you claim the compensation you deserve.
Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents in Florida
Bicycle accidents can occur due to various reasons. Some of the most common causes include:
- Distracted driving: This can involve drivers not paying attention to the road due to texting, eating, or using a GPS.
- Speeding: High speeds can prevent drivers from reacting in time to avoid a collision with a bicycle.
- Failure to yield: Many accidents occur when drivers fail to yield the right-of-way to bicyclists at intersections.
- Drunk driving: Impaired drivers pose a significant risk to bicyclists, with their slowed reaction times and compromised decision-making abilities.
Identifying the cause is essential in claiming compensation. We serve clients throughout Florida, helping to gather evidence and establish fault.
Claiming Compensation After a Bicycle Accident
As a victim of a bicycle accident, you may be eligible for compensation through insurance claims or lawsuits. It’s crucial to understand that each case is unique and may require a different approach. When filing an insurance claim, the insurer might not offer adequate compensation. That’s where we come in. We can help you negotiate for a fair offer or, if necessary, take the case to court.
You may also consider legal action against the responsible party if their insurance doesn’t cover all your damages or if their actions were particularly negligent. Compensation can cover both economic and non-economic damages, including medical bills, lost wages, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. The legal process can be confusing and overwhelming, but our experienced team at The Dash Cam Lawyer®, is ready to guide you every step of the way.
