How Our Legal Team Works
We know how bicycle accidents and their injuries prevent you from working, taking care of your loved ones, and enjoying your daily routine. Our goal is to promptly handle your case and do all we can to recover compensation to prevent financial hardship.
A bicycle accident lawyer may perform the following services to pursue compensation on your behalf:
- Secure medical reports and an assessment of your injuries from your healthcare provider
- Obtain evidence of the other party’s liability or wrongdoing, using police reports, photographs, witness statements, and other supporting information
- Submit a detailed claim to the other party’s insurance company
- Negotiate the best possible outcome for your economic and non-economic losses
If the other party does not negotiate in good faith, it may be wise to seek awards from a judge or jury. Florida allows four years from the date you were injured to file a personal injury lawsuit, according to Florida Statute § 95.11.
You Pay Nothing Up Front
Ben Crump Law, PLLC, has recovered more than $30 million in awards for our personal injury clients. While future outcomes are not guaranteed by past results, our bicycle accident lawyers understand the complexities of these cases.
We also understand that some people hesitate to call a bicycle accident lawyer because they may feel that they cannot afford legal representation.
Our lawyers:
- Do not require upfront fees
- Are paid from a portion of what we recover for you
- May seek legal fees from the other party if we take your case to court
It is your right for the lawyer of your choosing to represent you to the insurance company or the court. We would be proud to be your legal advocate.

How Bicycle Accidents Happen
Bicycling is great exercise and a cheaper alternative to get to work or school than a car. Florida requires that all vehicles who share public roads, including bicycles, must obey state, federal, and local traffic laws.
In our experience, most bicycle accident cases result from negligence, such as:
- Motorists following bicycles too closely
- Motorists driving too close to the designated bike lane
- Drivers opening a car door into the path of a bicyclist
- Drivers failing to yield to a bicyclist
- Motorists who drive while intoxicated, drowsy, or distracted
