Contact Wendy Doyle-Palumbo, Esq. to schedule a free consultation with a Holiday bicycle accident attorney. She and her team will do everything possible to negotiate a settlement for her clients.
Bicycle Accidents Are Legally Challenging
Obtaining a fair settlement is not easy. Motorists often deny liability, instead blaming the bicyclist for the crash in an attempt to avoid legal responsibility. Insurance adjusters are left trying to choose between competing versions of what happened: your version and the driver’s.
Our firm can take the necessary steps to make a claim:
- Untangle factual disputes. Many motorists crash into a bicycle because the driver is distracted, or they are frustrated that a slower bicycle is in the lane so they illegally pass. We speak to witnesses, review physical evidence, and analyze the police report to fully understand how the accident happened. That gives us a strong hand in negotiations.
- Juggle insurance policies. Different policies may come into play, including a driver’s liability coverage or your own personal injury protection (PIP) coverage. Let us review how to submit claims in a manner that maximizes what you receive in compensation.
- Develop a case strategy. Once we know the full value of your claim, we are in a position to devise the right case strategy. We often negotiate with a driver for compensation. But we might end up suing a motorist personally. If you rented a bicycle, then we might sue the owner.
- File a lawsuit. After recent revisions to Florida law, accident victims get only two years to file a lawsuit in most cases. Contact our office quickly so we can protect this right. If you wait too long, you can undermine your ability to receive any compensation.
- Negotiate with the defendant. Our legal team is dedicated to resolving cases swiftly. That means avoiding lengthy litigation if possible. Attorney Doyle-Palumbo brings decades of experience to negotiations with insurance companies. She knows how they review cases and what evidence they find persuasive.
Our clients usually convalesce at home due to serious injuries: concussions, broken bones, organ damage, and back injuries. Call our office so we can start gathering evidence and speaking to witnesses before they disappear. There is no reason to delay.
