Bicycle Accident Lawyer DeLand, FL

Even if you’re not traveling very fast, if you’re struck by a car while riding your bike, you likely suffer severe, debilitating injuries. Head injuries are common, even if you’re wearing a helmet. When you hit the car, then the hard pavement, you may suffer multiple bone fractures, painful “road rash” where the top layers of the dermis are scraped away, or internal organ damage and internal bleeding. Many unfortunate bike accident victims experience multiple grievous injuries, requiring invasive medical care. Even with surgery and physical therapy, there is no guarantee that you’ll regain your full capabilities.

Drivers are expected to give cyclists a wide berth on the road and have a duty of care for their safety. Failure to take reasonable care for a cyclist’s safety, including reckless driving or using a phone while driving, opens the driver up to liability if their negligence causes an injury to someone riding a bike.

As the injured victim, you have the right to file a suit for compensation against the at-fault driver (or against any other negligent party whose actions led to the crash and your injuries). Our DeLand bicycle accident lawyer can help you explore your options for securing compensation to cover your medical expenses, physical therapy, and other related losses.

Our Experience Makes The Difference In Your Bicycle Accident Claim

Bicycle accident cases are often high-value, which means that the insurance company responsible for paying the claim will take a very close look the case we build. Multiple serious injuries mean high medical damages, and if the victim misses several weeks of work due to their injuries (which is quite common), high damages for missed wages, too. Add in considerable damages for pain and suffering, and most bike accident claims easily top six figures. Experience with these cases matters, as does local knowledge of the legal landscape.
