Expert Legal Representation for Injured Cyclists

Bicycle accidents involving motor vehicles are tragically common and often result in serious harm to the cyclist. Our firm has extensive experience litigating these complex cases and holding at-fault drivers and their insurance companies accountable. We handle claims involving the following:

Our role is to champion your right to safely share the road. We build a powerful case by collecting traffic camera footage, consulting with accident reconstruction experts, and obtaining witness statements to clearly establish fault and fight any claims of comparative negligence.  We file lawsuits to recover damages that go beyond immediate medical costs, securing funds for future rehabilitation, lost earning capacity if the injury is disabling, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life.

Our Process: Your Path to Justice

We understand that reaching out to a law firm can feel intimidating, especially when you are dealing with a stressful or painful situation. Our goal is to make the process as straightforward and comfortable for you as possible. We do that through consistent transparency with you and by taking the heavy lifting out of your hands. 

Here is what you can expect when you contact Travieso McLeod to discuss your personal situation.

1. The Initial Conversation: Sharing Your Story

During your first free consultation, we will listen carefully as you explain what happened. We’ll ask specific questions to get the full picture, including details about your medical treatment, how your life has been affected, and the healthcare providers involved. This meeting is your opportunity to ask us questions, too, so you can feel confident and comfortable with our team.

Note – in most cases, personal injury, medical malpractice, and wrongful death lawsuits must be filed within two years of the date of the incident or malpractice.  Contacting a lawyer as soon as possible is critical to ensure your rights are protected within Florida’s strict deadlines.

2. The Case Evaluation: Building A Path Forward

After our conversation, our new case review committee will meet and discuss the case. We will consider whether we have a reasonable expectation of being able to prove that someone’s negligence caused you harm and whether the harms are something a jury will adequately compensate if the case were to proceed to trial. 

3. The Investigation: Leaving No Stone Unturned

If our case review committee determines that a viable claim may exist, our team will conduct a thorough investigation to see if your case meets Florida’s strict legal standards for recovery. We will gather all necessary records, bills, and other documents. If the records provide further evidence of a legitimate claim, we will then consult with appropriate experts. This process is vital to building a strong foundation for your claim.

4. Settlement Discussions or Filing A Lawsuit

If our investigation shows that you have a strong case, we will begin the pre-suit process. In medical malpractice cases, that means we will initiate the legally required notice period with the defense. In other cases, we may engage in negotiations with the defendant and their insurance company. 

In medical malpractice cases, most do not settle during the pre-suit stage, and a lawsuit is required. While many personal injury cases are settled during this phase, a lawsuit may be filed if a fair settlement cannot be reached.

We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you will not pay upfront and will pay only if there is a positive recovery on your case.

5. The Discovery Process

Once a lawsuit is filed, both sides will exchange information, take depositions, and gather evidence. This is often the most time-consuming part of a case and is where we continue to build our evidence against the at-fault parties. The Court will require the parties to attend mediation. Some cases settle at mediation, but we will only recommend settlement if the recovery provides you adequate compensation. This is very case-specific, so please call us for a free consultation if you would like to discuss further.

6. Trial

If a settlement is not reached during the discovery phase, the case proceeds to trial. The trial itself can last anywhere from one to three weeks or longer, depending on the complexity of the case. Although most cases settle before trial, we will be prepared to try the case. It’s the best way to maximize your recovery because defendants and insurance companies understand the risk they face at trial.

7. Continuous Support: Keeping You Informed 

We understand that the legal process can be long and challenging. From your first call to the resolution of your case, our team is committed to keeping you informed every step of the way. We will provide you with regular updates and explain what to expect next, always advocating for the best possible outcome.
