Gainesville Bicycle Accident Lawyer
Sunny Florida is a bicyclist's dream. But cycling and pedestrian accidents can turn a person's personal enjoyment and fitness into a nightmare of pain, suffering and uncertainty about the future.
Ocala cycling accident attorney Steven Wingo has been protecting the rights of bike crash victims since 1994. As an avid mountain biker and road cyclist himself, he knows the dangers of sharing the road with sometimes inattentive motorists. Throughout his career, he has worked to gain an understanding of complex medical terminology and the treatment of injuries, so his clients have the resources they need to get better.
Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist (UM) Coverage
Many people think that because they were not in their car when they were hurt, they do not qualify to have their medical expenses paid. That is not the case. In fact, you may have several recovery options available to you.
You may be covered by your own auto insurance for an injury you suffered in a bicycle accident. An at-fault person's homeowner's insurance may also provide liability insurance coverage if he or she was at fault, but not in a vehicle. You should always consult with an attorney to learn what insurance coverage may apply.
Protecting Your Rights After Serious Injuries
Cyclists do not have the same protection as people in cars, so the injuries suffered in bike accidents can be especially severe. You want to make sure you take action as soon as possible, so you can get access to the medical care you need.
