Preguntas frecuentes
Cuando los clientes se reúnen con un Orlando Pedestrian or Bike Accident Attorney, these crucial questions often arise.
Who pays my medical bills after I’m hit by a car while walking/biking? Florida’s no-fault PIP (Personal Injury Protection) often covers initial medical bills, even for pedestrians and cyclists, but there are limits. We explore all avenues for full compensation.
What if the driver blames me? It’s common for drivers and their insurance companies to blame pedestrians or cyclists. We gather evidence to prove driver negligence and protect your rights against false accusations.
How long do I have to file a claim? In Florida, the general statute of limitations is two years from the date of the accident for most personal injury claims, including pedestrian and bike accidents.
Can I still get compensation if I wasn’t in a crosswalk or bike lane? Even outside designated areas, drivers still owe a duty of care. We investigate all circumstances to determine liability and pursue compensation.
