What Should I Do Immediately After a Davie E-Bike Accident?
The most important step you can take after an e-bike accident is to ensure your safety and receive medical attention. With limited protection from the elements and the impact of another vehicle and the road, these collisions can cause serious injuries, some of which may be delayed.
It is also important to exchange insurance information with the driver who collided with you, as well as file a police report to document the accident. This ensures that you meet legal requirements and have a record of the accident to submit to the insurance company. You should also take pictures of the scene and your injuries for evidence, and get the information and statements of any witnesses who were around and saw what happened.
What Types of Recoverable Damages Can I Receive After an E-Bike Accident?
As a no-fault state, the damages you can recover will depend on the type of claim you file. When you file a claim under your personal injury protection (PIP) policy, you can generally recover the cost of your medical expenses and lost wages without having to demonstrate fault. However, if this isn’t enough to cover your losses, then you may be able to file a lawsuit directly against the at-fault party. This will require you to establish fault, but may allow you to recover a larger settlement that may also include compensation for your damaged bike and the pain and suffering you have experienced.
How Long Do I Have to File an E-Bike Accident Claim in Florida
Florida grants injury victims a period of 2 years from the time of an accident to file a claim and seek restitution for their losses, according to Florida Statute 95.11. During this time, an individual must initiate and resolve their claim, so it is important to allow enough time for preparations, negotiations, and resolving any unexpected challenges.
When the 2 years are up, individuals generally lose the right to further action and will have to absorb the cost of their losses if they do not file a claim. It is important to talk with a lawyer soon after your e-bike accident to make sure you have the maximum amount of time. Even if you are nearing the end of the limitation period, you should still reach out to a lawyer to see what options may be available.
