If you or a loved one was involved in a bicycle accident, you may be dealing with doctors and trying to get injuries treated or you may be coping with grief over the death of a loved one. You may also be very concerned about how the bike crash will affect your financial future as you struggle to pay medical bills and come to terms with the fact that you might be unable to work with your bike accident injuries. Dealing with the aftermath of a bike accident can be devastating, but even as you cope with medical issues, you cannot forget to pay attention to the legal ones.
The laws in Florida ensure that bicycle accident victims or surviving family members of those killed in crashes do not sustain financial loss if the crash was caused by another motorist. However, it is up to injured victims or their families to pursue a claim to get the monetary compensation the law allows. At Steinger, Greene & Feiner, our experienced Port St. Lucie bicycle accident attorneys have represented injured victims throughout Florida. We are here and ready to use our legal knowledge to help with your case, so contact us today.
Your Rights After a Port st. Lucie Bicycle Accident
When a bike accident happens, often the driver of the vehicle is to blame. Motorists are expected to behave with reasonable care when operating their vehicles in order to protect bicycle riders, and if a driver has not done this, the vehicle operator should be responsible for covering losses he or she has caused. Florida allows bicyclists injured in crashes, or their surviving family members, to obtain compensation for both serious injuries and wrongful death from a driver who causes a bike wreck. There are two primary ways you can protect your legal rights and get the money that the law allows:
- you can sue for it. you’ll need to go to court and prove that the motorist was to blame for the bike wreck.
- you can settle your case outside of court. you’ll need to negotiate with the driver’s insurance company in order to prove the extent of your loss and arrive at a fair and reasonable settlement.
Whichever of these two options you choose to pursue, it is incredibly helpful to be represented by a Port St. Lucie bicycle accident attorney in handling your case.
My case couldn't have been handled better. It was handled in a timely manner - it wasn't rushed. If something ever happened again and I needed an attorney, Steinger, Greene & Feiner would be the first place I would go.
