Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about bicycle accident cases in Cocoa Beach
What should I do after a bicycle accident in Cocoa Beach?
After a bicycle accident in Cocoa Beach, your first priority should be your safety and health. Call 911 immediately and seek medical attention, even if you feel your injuries are minor. Many serious injuries, particularly head trauma, may not be immediately apparent.
If you're able, document the scene by taking photos of your bicycle, the vehicle involved, and any visible injuries. Collect contact information from witnesses, especially if they're tourists who may leave the area. Get the driver's insurance and contact information, but avoid discussing fault or making statements about the accident.
Contact our office as soon as possible after receiving medical care. Early intervention allows us to preserve crucial evidence and protect your rights while you focus on recovery.
What types of damages can I get compensation for after a bicycle accident?
As bicycle accident lawyers serving Cocoa Beach, we pursue various types of compensation for our injured clients, including:
- Medical expenses (current and future)
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Rehabilitation costs
- Damaged property (bicycle and gear)
- Mental anguish and emotional distress
Every case is unique, and we thoroughly evaluate all aspects of your accident to ensure we pursue maximum compensation for your injuries.
How is liability determined in a bicycle accident?
In Cocoa Beach bicycle accidents, liability is determined by establishing negligence - proving that another party failed to exercise reasonable care and caused your injuries. This might involve a driver who failed to yield, a business that created unsafe conditions in their parking area, or even the city if poor road maintenance contributed to your accident.
Our team investigates all potential factors, including:
- Traffic camera footage
- Witness statements
- Police reports
- Road conditions and signage
- Weather conditions
Florida's comparative negligence laws may affect your case, but don't let this discourage you. We've successfully represented many cyclists, even in complex liability situations.
What is the statute of limitations for bicycle accidents?
In Florida, you typically have two years from the date of your bicycle accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, this deadline can vary based on specific circumstances, and waiting too long can jeopardize your right to compensation.
We recommend contacting our office as soon as possible after your accident. Early intervention allows us to preserve evidence, interview witnesses while memories are fresh, and build the strongest possible case for you.
How do I handle an insurance claim after a bicycle accident?
After a bicycle accident, you may be contacted by insurance adjusters representing the at-fault party. While they may seem helpful, their goal is to minimize their company's financial exposure. We strongly recommend directing all insurance communication through our office.
Our experienced team knows how to handle insurance companies and protect your interests. We've recovered over $1 billion for our clients and understand the tactics insurers use to undervalue claims. Let us handle the negotiations while you focus on your recovery.
