What Your Bicycle Accident Case May Be Worth
Victims of serious bicycle accidents face a long road to recovery. Once we prove another party was negligent, we can then build a claim for you. To do this, we will calculate all economic and non-economic losses you have. Common examples include:
Medical costs for emergency and ongoing medical care associated with your injury
Lost wages and benefits from not being able to work
Loss of ability to work and earn due to ongoing injuries
Property damage
Loss of quality of life
Pain and suffering from the incident itself and the healing process
Set up a free consultation with our Clearwater bicycle accident attorneys today. We will analyze your medical bills, long-term implications to your health and earnings, and the pain and suffering claims you can expect. We bring years of experience to this process. We know how to maximize claims and build evidence-based claims that hold others accountable to the fullest level allowed under the law.
How Long Do You Have To File a Claim?
Victims of serious accidents must act within Florida’s statute of limitations. This is a two-year timeline from the date the accident occurred to the filing of a lawsuit in a Florida court. If you wait beyond two years, the court will not hear your case. You cannot recover fair compensation even when the evidence is significant.
Our experience enables our legal team to obtain a settlement for losses long before the two-year limitation. However, we are trial-ready and experienced if the need to file a lawsuit arises.
