Florida Keys Bike Injury Lawsuit

As Key West and Key Largo bicycle accident attorneys, we are familiar with bike injury cases. Due to the rising number of Key West bike accidents, there is a growing number of Florida Keys bike injury lawsuits. But what does a Key West bicycle accident case entail? A typical Florida Keys bike accident lawsuit begins with the retention of a Key West bike accident lawyer. We work on contingency fee, so you don't have to pay your Florida Keys bicycle crash lawyer up front, and we only collect fees if you collect money. Once you've hired a lawyer, the firm will determine any and all insurance policies which cover your damages. From there, your Key West bicycle crash attorney will obtain all your injury-related medical records. He or she will then speak with you and discuss the potential value of your Florida Keys bicycle injury case. Once you and your attorney determine a demand amount, the offer will be relayed to the insurance company. If the offer is accepted, your Key West bike accident claim will be settled. If not, your Key Largo bike accident lawyer will file a bike injury lawsuit in the Monroe County Circuit Court. This is also referred to as putting the case into litigation. Once the case is in suit, your lawyer will participate in discovery, take depositions and attend hearings. At some point, in accordance with Monroe County rules, your bike accident case will be required to go to mediation. This is an informal settlement conference where many Florida Keys bike crash cases settle. If the matter does not resolve at mediation, your attorney will try the case before a jury in Monroe County. Although the vast majority of cases settle, make sure your Key West bike crash lawyer is ready and willing to try your case. If not, the insurance company may not take your case as seriously.
