Getting Hurt In A Bicycle Accident Can Be Expensive.
By nature, bicyclists are less protected than those in the vehicles around them, and so any accident involving a cyclist is likely to result in catastrophic injuries. Being injured is not only a devastating life experience physically and emotionally, but also financially. Depending on how the crash occurred and the extent of the injuries you sustained, you could face paying thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills alone, including for items like:
- Ambulatory transport
- Emergency room care
- Intensive unit care
- Imaging tests (like X-rays, MRIs, CT scans etc.)
- Bloodwork or transfusions
- Surgeries
- Hospitalization
- Medications
- Medical devices (crutches, braces, etc.)
- Chiropractic care and/or physical therapy
- Dental work (fillings, tooth removal, etc.)
- Mental health counseling
- Copays
- Deductibles
- And more.
But medical costs aren’t the only ones that you’ll incur. You may have to take days, weeks, or months off of work in order to heal, and use up paid sick or vacation days or forgo getting paid entirely (depending on your company’s policies). Your injuries may leave you unable to perform the same job duties you did before the accident, or permanently disabled and not being able to work at all. There are also other, intangible costs like the pain and suffering you endure, or not being able to participate in the activities you used to enjoy.
Why Do You Need To Work With Jacksonville Bicycle Accident Injury Lawyers?
When your bicycle accident was caused by someone else’s negligence, you shouldn’t have to cover any of the aforementioned costs. Your insurance company and/or the insurance company of the driver who caused the collision should pay for everything! However, insurance companies lose money when they give injured victims the full value their injuries are worth; they often attempt to deny or devalue claims in order to protect their bottom line. That’s not fair to you, which is why you need to hire attorneys who can stand up for your legal rights and pursue the damages you deserve.
On your own, trying to argue with the insurance companies can be exhausting and frustrating, but with our Jacksonville bicycle accident injury lawyers on your side, you have an advocate they will listen to. We can investigate your case, help you file a claim if you haven’t already, communicate with the insurer, and negotiate for the best possible settlement offer. You can focus on recovering knowing that we’re focused on recovering damages! Our trial-tested attorneys aren’t intimidated by large insurers, and we won’t hesitate to take your case to trial if that’s what it takes to secure compensation. We’re dedicated to winning!
Why Choose The Florida Law Group?
The Florida Law Group has recovered over $1 billion for our clients since 1984, an achievement that has earned us recognition from prestigious legal and media organizations such as the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, the National Trial Lawyers Top 100, the Trial Lawyer Board of Regents, the Best Lawyers in America, Avvo, Florida Super Lawyers, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, 20/20, the CBS Evening News, and more. We have over 100 years of combined experience on our attorney team!
We care about our clients more than our accolades, however. We understand how difficult it can be to come to terms with your injuries after an accident, and we will always go the extra mile to give you the support and connect you to the resources (like medical services, temporary financial aid, etc.) that can make a positive impact on your life. You can count on us to take the time to listen to your stories and explain all of your options so that you can have peace of mind about the process.
You never have to pay our legal fee unless and until you win. Because we believe that all injured bicyclists are entitled to quality legal help, regardless of ability to pay, we proudly offer all of our services on contingency. This means that rather than charging you by the hour, or for a flat fee, we are paid as a percentage of your settlement, if and when we are able to recover one. We are incentivized to win you as high of an amount as possible, and you don’t take on any risk. It’s a win-win!
