Bicycle Accidents in Florida: A Client Testimonial

Bicycle Accidents in Florida: A Client Testimonial 

According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), there were 6,403 bicycle accidents across the state in 2021. Those accidents resulted in 195 fatalities and a significantly higher number of injuries. Unfortunately, when a bicyclist is involved in an accident with a motor vehicle, the bicyclist usually suffers the brunt of the damage.

Roman Austin Car Accident and Personal Injury Lawyers has been assisting clients in the Tampa Bay area since 1996. Our bicycle accident attorneys in Clearwater have more than a half-century of combined experience, and we’ve secured over $100 million for deserving personal injury victims since we were founded.

Recently, we were fortunate enough to help a local bicyclist get back on her feet after she was struck by a car. Our legal team was taken aback by her spirit and dedication to the sport. We decided it best to fill you in on her story and how we were able to assist.

Our Client’s Story

Our client’s first memories of riding a bicycle were when she was around the age of five. She remembers learning how to ride on a worn-out, hand-me-down bike of her sister’s that didn’t have much paint left. She recalls falling in love with the experience and spending hours upon hours improving her skill, a sentiment that her parents helped bring about through their encouragement as well.

When she was struck by a car during a group ride in the area, our client thought that bicycling might be taken away from her. She suffered serious harm as a result of the accident. Our client regularly logs 200-225 mile weeks on her bicycle, sometimes totaling upwards of 14,000 miles a year.

Any athlete with that much dedication to their sport will tell you that the thought of losing the ability to compete is terrifying, almost at an existential level. We were saddened to hear of what happened to our client after the accident, and we were highly motivated to help her as best as we could.

How Roman Austin Car Accident and Personal Injury Lawyers Was Able To Help

Fortunately, we were able to secure a settlement agreement that was favorable to our client. She notes in her testimonial that she believes our knowledge of cycling and our history of success were key factors in the ultimate outcome of her case. 

Our personal injury law firm aims to treat each of our clients as if they were family. To that end, we’re able to assist our clients after a bicycle crash by:

  • Conducting a thorough internal investigation into the bicycle accident to identify any liable parties, articulate the full extent of the damages, and collect evidence
  • Handling all of the negotiations, paperwork, and communications related to the case while the client focuses on their recovery
  • Hiring experts to analyze the facts and circumstances of the bike crash and testify at trial if needed
  • Apprising the client of their legal options consistently throughout each stage of the case
  • Protecting the client from unfounded allegations that the accident was their fault

Our client is now in a position to continue enjoying the sport she loves, and she plans to do so for many more years to come. If you’ve been involved in a bicycle accident in the Tampa Bay area and are looking for legal representation, consider Roman Austin Car Accident and Personal Injury Lawyers.

They did a great job and even advised what to do if there was no insurance for the at-fault driver and I had to self represent. Ended up being able to get me the fullest payout possible, team was easy to keep in touch with, and Miles was clear in his explanations and helpful with his advice. I still use some of the doctors I connected with through their firm. Would recommend Roman Austin and would use them again.

I cannot say enough incredible things about Roman Austin Law Firm. John Austin is a phenomenal lawyer. I was in a bad crash that involved a truck totaling my vehicle and sustaining neck and back injuries.Going into this process, I was honestly apprehensive about even hiring a lawyer. I was especially wary of those large, commercial firms that just want to move cases quickly. I had heard some great things about Roman Austin, but did my own extensive research and now know why they are a five star firm. What could have easily been a stressful and overwhelming experience turned into something completely different because of John Austin and his team. Choosing them was one of the best decisions I have ever made.John is truly exceptional. He is incredibly detailed, meticulous, and completely devoted to his work. He worked tirelessly on my case, going above and beyond anything I could have ever expected. He spent countless hours (even on weekends), and was always available whenever I needed him. His level of dedication, care, and precision is something you rarely find.Beyond that, he is patient, kind, and deeply compassionate. You never feel like just another case. He genuinely cares about you as a person and wants the absolute best for you. He made what could have been a difficult process feel manageable and supported every step of the way.His entire team was phenomenal. They were responsive, professional, and just as committed. Every interaction felt thoughtful and intentional.The outcome we achieved was fantastic, and I am beyond grateful. I couldn't be more pleased with my experience.If you are considering legal representation, I wholeheartedly recommend John at Roman Austin Law Firm. They are professional, dedicated, and truly invested in their clients.Choosing John Austin made all the difference. He fought tirelessly to ensure that everything I endured was recognized and fairly compensated, and that level of dedication is something I will never forget. I am profoundly grateful not only for the outcome, but for the care, integrity, and unwavering commitment shown every step of the way. Forever thankful I chose them, and truly forever grateful.

Once again Roman & Austin and their team has been a helping hand through hard times after being rear ended by a driver not paying attention. The same day I was set up with community care to make sure I had to physical and emotional support I needed and they checked on me with updates every week. They got me the full compensation I deserved for my injuries and are the best at what they do.
