Using a bicycle for transportation is healthy and environmentally-responsible. In Boca Raton, bicycling is also one way to enjoy the beautiful weather and scenery. Drivers should follow the law to accommodate cyclists, but unfortunately, drivers often fail to share the road.
Negligent or reckless driving can lead to catastrophic injuries for cyclists. If you or a loved one has suffered in a bicycle accident, it is important to contact an experienced Boca Raton injury attorney for help. A skilled personal injury lawyer from Kogan & DiSalvo can help you pursue compensation for your damages.

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.
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.
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.
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.
For help with the aftermath of a bicycle accident, contact a Boca Raton bicycle accident lawyer to assist you in recovering compensation for your injuries.

I was very pleased with my experience with the team at Kogan & DiSalvo. Every time I called my questions were answered and needs addressed. My attorney Brian was an animal (in a nice way) and he got me the best results I could expect for my type of case. Everyone I encountered at K&D were professional and kind. They all made me feel at ease during a rather stressful time

I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank my Personal Injury Attorney, Mr. Brian Andino for the exceptional work he did on my case. His expertise, dedication, and attention to detail made all the difference, and I’m incredibly grateful for the positive outcome he helped to achieve.
From the beginning, Mr. Andino’s clear communication, strategic thinking, and unwavering support put me at ease during what could have been a very stressful process. It was clear that he genuinely cared about my situation, and I felt confident having him in my corner.
I appreciate Mr. Andino’s hard work and professionalism. If I ever need legal assistance in the future, I won’t hesitate to reach out, and I’d gladly recommend him to anyone seeking top-tier representation.
