Are you wondering about the differences between a bicycle and car accident case? Check out this video, then call our lawyers in Florida.
Question:
How does a bicycle accident claim differ from a normal auto accident claim?
Answer:
Bicycle accident injury cases are oftentimes different from other types of injury cases in Florida because, unfortunately, what we see oftentimes with bicycle accidents is that the severity of injury is much more significant than certain other types of cases. For that reason, you want to make sure that you hire an attorney who specializes in personal injury and specifically bicycle accidents to help you with your case from the very beginning. Unfortunately, oftentimes what we also see is that there’s sometimes a tendency to try to blame the bicyclist for the cause of a crash.
If that’s the case, we are happy to help you. That does not mean that you don’t have a case; what that means is that we need to do an investigation and fight for you because oftentimes, insurance companies will try to use that against you to try to minimize the amount of damages that you can claim. For that reason, please call us. We specialize in these types of cases. We’re happy to help you even if there is a dispute about liability and who was at fault for the crash.

There are certain things that go into determining the value of a case. The factors that we consider when talking about value of a bicycle accident injury case are Number One, is there any dispute about liability? Is there any claim that you were at fault for the crash? If there is, we want to make sure that we have done a proper investigation and hired any experts, if necessary, to try to dispute those claims.
Secondly, the other factor that comes into play when talking about the value of your bicycle accident injury case is the severity of your damages and how you’ve recovered from those injuries. We want to know from your doctors in particular what your injures were, whether they were permanent, and how you’ve recovered from those injuries. Those factors all come into play when talking about the value of your bicycle accident case.
Thirdly, another important thing to consider is whether you have hired an attorney who specializes in personal injury and bicycle accident cases in particular. The reason for that is that insurance companies oftentimes know which attorneys will try a case and which will not try a case. You want an attorney who will try your case because that maximizes the value of your case and maximizes the amount of money that we recover for you.
If you have questions and you were involved in a bicycle accident, please give us a call. We specialize in those types of cases. If necessary, we're happy to try that case for you if it’s required.
