Riding Safely in Boca Raton

Many state and local clubs and advocacy groups for cyclists can help provide information about riding safely. Bicycle regulations in Boca Raton law are found in the Florida Statutes. Knowing the law can help cyclists not only protect their safety but protect against unfair charges.

In a personal injury case for a bicycle accident, the cyclist’s damages will be reduced by whatever percentage the jury finds the cyclist to have contributed to their own injuries, up to 50%. If the cyclist is found 51% or more at fault, they are barred from recovery entirely. This doctrine is known as modified contributory negligence.

Challenging Unsafe Drivers

When a driver hits a bicyclist due to negligence or recklessness, the results can be particularly serious because a bicyclist is largely unprotected. At the scene of an accident, whether the accident was minor or severe, it is important to seek medical treatment if the cyclist suspects any type of injury. Sometimes the shock of an accident causes someone not to realize they are in pain and seriously injured.

Once it becomes clear that an injury has occurred, a trip to the emergency room or doctor is very important. Some common bicycle accident injuries are head injuries, spinal cord injuries, and broken bones. It is also important to seek recommended follow-up treatment. Someone who has been in an accident must care for their health above all, and in the process, they are also creating evidence to present to the at-fault driver’s insurance company.

Filing a Bicycle Accident Case in Boca Raton

It is very important to call an attorney immediately because an experienced accident attorney can offer advice about seeking medical treatment after an accident. A Boca Raton bike accident attorney can also advise their client about what to say to the at-fault driver’s insurance company when the insurance company calls.

When a lawyer takes someone’s personal injury case, they will make contact with the driver’s insurance company to let them know the bicyclist is represented. The bicycle accident lawyer in Boca Raton will then begin the process of collecting evidence to present to the insurance company.

This evidence may include medical records and bills, police reports, photographs of the accident scene or injuries, witness contact information.

Process of an Accident Claim

A bicycle accident attorney in Boca Raton will negotiate with the insurance company, but the client makes the final decision about whether to accept an offered settlement.

If settlement talks with the insurance company do not yield the desired outcome, the next step is to file a lawsuit. During the process of litigation, evidence will continue to be exchanged between the plaintiff and defendant. If a trial is necessary, an experienced attorney will present persuasive evidence to the court.

I was injured in a bicycle accident with an automobile in which I accumulated thousands of dollars in medical bills. I contacted Kogan & DiSalvo to see how to handle these bills, they explained the whole process and that I wouldn’t have to pay them any upfront money. I was assigned an attorney and a paralegal who explained every step of the process as it progressed. I dealt with Amanda who answered every question I had and I had a lot of them. They got all of my bills paid.I received payment for a new bicycle as well as a settlement from the accident. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone in need of help.Lastly I would like to thank Amanda who was super helpful throughout this case.

I was injured while shopping at the largest corporate stores in the US. Numerous attorneys at Kogan and DiSalvo helped settle my case with a positive outcome. They set a new standard for case review of unusual elements involving the injuries I sustain ed. After continual delays by the defendants,Tiffani held fast and resolved the issues through mediation. Kogan and DiSalvo came highly recommended by friends in the business. I would also like to recommend this group for your litigation needs.

We were very impressed with the way Rachel and her team handled my mother’s case. They were not only very detailed and professional, but were always available to answer questions and concerns.

I had the pleasure of having Amanda as my paralegal over my case and she made my experience a lot smoother. She was attentive and compassionate when speaking with me and explained the legal jargon seamlessly. Now that my case has finally wrapped up I can say that I would recommend Kogan & DiSalvo to anyone in need of personal injury representation. Yes they are a giant of a legal team but with a great team that feels personal to you.

If you’re reading this, in search of representation, I wish you the best and hope you choose a team that will passionately represent you.

From the moment I googled injury lawyers, the first name that appeared was Kogan & DiSalvo. I’ve seeing them painted in the back of the cross many times instantly felt a sense of relief that all that right away. Boy am I glad I trusted my instincts. From the initial phone call that I made at the time of my injury I was guided over the phone what to do. It was almost like having a family and solo me through a rather traumatic situation. My attorney Ted DiSalvo has been amazing, however I did most of my correspondence with Amanda Hudson (she was like a big sister) guiding me and reassuring me an answering every question that I had throughout this long process.

Kogan and DiSalvo they treated me like family from day one. If you are ever in a position that you need a great injury firm that pays closer attention to you then your own family; Kogan & DiSalvo is who you need to call. They will make sure that you do not get shorchanged . They will get you the money that you deserve.

Lastly I know I sound like a broken record but Amanda Hudson was amazing “you rock Amanda” You made this a truly great experience..

My neighbor used Kogan & DiSalvo twice and had such a positive experience that after I was involved in a car accident she told me that I really should call them, so I did. After I filled out the form online someone called me within 3 minutes. She was very kind, compassionate and very sympathetic to my situation. From the beginning she let me know that she needed to speak with the attorney and find out some more info before she could say if they could even help me. The honesty from her was very appreciated. Although I’m not finished with my case I am very very happy with how things are going and even more so with the treatment I recieve from everyone I have dealt with. I am treated like a person, not a number, which is unfortunately very rare. They honestly do care and do truly want to help. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a personal injury attorney.
