The Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine wants to protect your rights starting now. Call us for a free consultation and the opportunity to ask questions about how our Dunnellon personal injury lawyers can take action on your behalf. You worry about getting better. We take care of everything else.
Our Attorneys Can Fight For Your Rights After A Bike Crash
First and foremost, you should be aware that you have a limited time to take legal action following a personal injury. Florida Statutes § 95.11 gives you two years from the accident date to file a bike accident lawsuit.
If you contact our Dunnellon bicycle accident lawyers within that timeframe, we can work quickly to advocate for you by:
- Evaluating your case’s merits over the phone at no cost or risk to you
- Launching an investigation that tells us everything we need to know about how your crash happened, who is responsible, and what damages you are entitled to
- Filing all necessary paperwork, including a demand letter that our Dunnellon bicycle accident attorneys can send to the insurance company to inform them of your legal action
- Managing communications so that you can pursue your personal injury case without needing to have direct contact with the person who hurt you
- Deciding whether to negotiate a settlement or take your case to trial—and then pursuing that strategy with all of our strength and resources
- Keeping you in the loop at all times by providing regular case updates and remaining accessible so that you can ask questions whenever you have them
Our firm has experience in many types of accident cases. If your accident involved a truck or some other vehicle, let our Dunnellon truck accident lawyers take care of things.

What Bike Crash Injuries Entitle You To Compensation?
Any injury that has a significant impact on your life could qualify you for financial compensation. That could include temporary or permanent injuries.
Whether you suffered a muscle strain, bone fracture, nerve damage, brain damage, laceration, or any other kind of injury, the point is that this injury was not your fault, and you deserve damages. Our Dunnellon crash injury lawyers can fight for the money you need.
How To Protect Your Right To Bicycle Accident Damages
The actions you do (or do not) take in the immediate aftermath of the collision could affect your ability to collect damages like these. Our personal injury attorneys recommend that you protect yourself by:
- Calling 911
- Receiving prompt medical attention
- Asking the driver for their name, contact information, and insurance information
- Taking photos of the accident scene
- Saying as little as possible about the crash until you have consulted with our legal team
Finding Who Is Liable For Your Dunnellon Bike Accident
Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) reports that there were 98 bicycle accidents in Marion County in 2022. These resulted in five fatalities and many more injuries.
How do accidents like these happen? There could be several potential liable parties, including:
- A driver: Anyone driving a car, van, or truck has a responsibility to keep watch for bicyclists. If they speed, get distracted, or do not give cyclists enough room, they put other people in danger.
- The City of Dunnellon: The City’s Roads and Streets Department is, according to their website, “responsible for the maintenance and signage of all roads, sidewalks, and right-of-ways within the City limits.” If a dangerous road condition contributed to the accident, the City may therefore be at fault.
- A mechanic: If the driver who hit you did not realize that their mechanic did not do a proper job on maintaining or fixing their vehicle, then that mechanic could be liable.
- A parts manufacturer: Did the car that hit you malfunction just before the crash, or was there a problem with your bike that kept you from reacting to the danger? In such cases, our bike accident lawyers may go after the manufacturer for damages.
Our Attorneys Are Not Afraid Of Complex Bicycle Crash Cases
Some cases are more complicated than others. For example, if your case involves multiple liable parties or an uninsured liable party, the process of recovering compensation may be longer and more difficult than it would be otherwise.
The Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine does not back away from such cases. No matter what we find out during the investigation phase, you can rely on our personal injury attorneys to stand up for your family’s rights.
