Proving Liability
One of the most important jobs of a lawyer in a bicycle accident case is to prove liability in the at-fault party. In many cases, the at-fault party is a driver of a car or other vehicle that struck you in the accident. They may be guilty of distracted or impaired driving, negligent behavior, or a traffic violation. Any unsafe or illegal behavior that led to the accident is an example of negligence and liability.
There may also be other parties that can be found liable for your injuries. If the accident was caused in part by defective parts in the car or bicycle, the manufacturer may be found liable. If it was caused by poor road conditions, those responsible for the upkeep of the roads may be found liable. No matter the liable party, our Okeechobee bicycle accident lawyer will build a case that proves their involvement in the accident and delivers compensation to you.
