I have been practicing Personal Injury law in St. Petersburg, Florida, since the mid seventies.
I have lived in this area all my life except my school years at the University of Notre Dame Law School. Our practice is dedicated to serving our clients in the areas of Personal Injury, Commercial Litigation, Contractual Disputes, and Premises Liability. You put yourself at a disadvantage by dealing directly with the insurance companies. These companies have one or more lawyers already working against you on your accident or injury case.
The law is complicated, and attorneys know how to properly file court documents and handle legal matters. A late filing, for example, could delay your case or worse - the court could have it thrown out altogether.

We have had two recent incidents I've been made aware of with bicyclist interaction with law enforcement that bear discussion.
I'm not using any names, and to each of those individuals, I apologize if using your situation as a teaching moment offends you.
I have inserted hypotheticals in both examples.
First example: police officer incorrectly tells cycling group to get into single file on a road without designated bike lanes where it is not illegal to ride two (but not more than two) abreast.
One of the cyclists yelled back at the officer words to the effect: "we are allowed to ride side by side on this road."

That's a tough one.
There are many attorneys out there, and you obviously want to hire someone who is a graduate of a solid and well known academic institution.
You want someone with real experience in the personal injury field; you don't want to be someone else's training ground.
Most importantly, you want an attorney who will give you the time that is needed to properly get to know you and your case.
This means you need "face time" with the lawyer who will represent you throughout the case, including at trial, if trial is necessary.

Cyclists have the same right to use and enjoy the roads that other motor vehicle owners use.
Unfortunately for cyclists, however, the roads are often too narrow and traffic is simply too fast.
Cyclists and drivers alike must obey the rules of the road, traffic laws, and the duty to exercise reasonable care with regards to one's own safety and that of others.
At our firm we represent cyclists in bicycle accident cases in St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and the Greater Tampa Bay Area.

Auto Accident Attorney: Things You Should Know About Seeking Medical Treatment, Injury Related Expenses, and The Recording of Evidence.
To help us build a stronger auto accident case on your behalf, it is critical that you seek medical treatment, track expenses, and record evidence.
It very common for only part of your injuries to become immediately apparent after your accident.
We often see our clients manifesting symptoms several days, if not weeks, after a collision.
This is why you should speak with a doctor about your injuries as soon as possible - no matter how minor they might currently seem.
