What Are My Rights After a Bicycle Accident?
After a bicycle accident in Fort Myers, you have the right to seek compensation for your injuries and damages. This includes the right to file a claim against the responsible party's insurance or, in certain cases, to pursue legal action in court.
You're also entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and any other losses you've suffered. Importantly, you have the right to consult with an attorney who can advocate on your behalf, ensuring your rights are protected throughout the legal process.
Understanding Florida's No-Fault Laws and How They Could Impact Your Case
Florida's no-fault insurance laws mean that after a bicycle accident, your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance should kick in. This insurance covers your medical bills and lost wages, regardless of who was at fault.
However, PIP coverage is limited and may not fully cover all your expenses, especially if you've sustained serious injuries. Also, having PIP coverage doesn't mean your own insurance provider won't try to lowball you.
That is why we recommend having your case reviewed by our bicycle accident specialists. We may be able to help you maximize your claim by establishing other ways to pursue compensation for your injuries and losses.
Florida's Serious Injury Threshold Explained
Under Florida law, to step outside the no-fault system and file a lawsuit against the at-fault party for a bicycle accident, your injuries must meet a "serious injury" threshold. This threshold includes:
- significant and permanent loss of an important bodily function;
- significant and permanent scarring or disfigurement; or
- death.
If your injuries qualify as serious under this definition, you can pursue a claim for damages not covered by your PIP insurance. These include pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, punitive damages, and other non-economic damages that apply to your case.
