Bicycle Accidents Lawyer
Bicycle accidents can result in catastrophic personal injuries. Unlike passengers in motor vehicles, bicycle riders do not have safety equipment such as airbags, seatbelts, or even just the steel walls of the car to protect them from impact. Bicyclists also have a smaller profile making them harder to see and gauge distance or speed. When a motor vehicle collides with a bicycle rider, common injuries are spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and broken bones. But when seriously injured, the last thing a victim wants to do is handle the legal process by trying to make a claim. Insurance companies know this and try to make filing a claim more difficult for individuals injured in bicycle accidents.

Frequently Asked Questions
What compensation may I recover in a bicycle accident claim?
Victims who have been seriously injured in a bicycle accident claim may recover damages. Under Florida law, damages is the measure of relief that a victim may be entitled to in a claim. In a bicycle accident, victims may be entitled to monetary compensation for their damages including pain and suffering, lost wages, lost future earnings, past and future medical bills, loss of consortium, modifications to one’s home or vehicle, medication costs, property damage costs, and other damages or injuries related to the bicycle accident.
Can I file a PIP claim for a bicycle accident?
Yes, however, sometimes insurance companies do not always pay that claim. Generally, a bicyclist is entitled to file a PIP claim up to $10,000. This is because a bicyclist is considered a pedestrian under Florida insurance law. This means that a bicyclist will have to look to his or her own insurance company for PIP coverage. But if the bicyclist does not have a motor vehicle or auto insurance, filing a claim may be much more difficult. Ask our bicyclist accident lawyer how we may be able to help.
How much does a bicycle accident lawyer cost?
Schlacter Law understands that bicycle accident victims have increased medical bills and decreased income from not being able to work due to serious injuries. This is why we operate on a contingency fee basis which means you do not owe us any money upfront and you only pay us when we recover compensation for your claim. This allows you to keep money to pay your bills, not your lawyer fees. This is another reason why Schlacter Law is different.
