Bicycle Accident Attorney

Bicycle accidents can cause severe injuries, permanent disabilities, or even loss of life. If you or a loved one has suffered a Bicycle Accident, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

At FGC Attorneys, we have a team of experienced attorneys, especially in personal injury cases, who are ready to help you navigate the process of getting the compensation you deserve. Our attorneys have a deep understanding of the laws surrounding personal injury cases like Bicycle Accidents for our Clients in Florida, Colorado, and Texas.

Florida is a no-fault state when it comes to automobile accidents. A bicyclist could have PIP insurance coverage if they’re a Florida driver. This means if a Bicyclist with PIP Insurance is involved in a Bicycle Accident with serious injuries, the Bicyclist’s PIP Insurance may cover medical costs before claims are filed under an at-fault driver’s policy. A Bicyclist who does not have PIP Insurance does need to file claims under an at-fault driver’s insurance.

Colorado & Texas are at-fault states when it comes to automobile accidents which simplifies the claims process. An at-fault drivers insurance policy will cover the medical expenses of a seriously injured bicyclist. However, this means establishing fault is critical in these cases to avoid paying medical bills out-of-pocket. 

Minors are not held to the same standard as adults, which changes the way fault is determined. Minors are typically held to a lower standard than adults, which doesn’t give them immunity but may shift fault. Additionally, in Florida, if a minor is involved in a Bicycle Accident, the minor could be covered under their parent’s PIP Insurance. Having the right attorney representing you is important, at FGC Attorneys we often represent clients with personal injury cases, even involving minors.
