What could be wrong with my case?


Last year, I was it by a car when I was on a bike (not motorbike). I don't remember the actual incident, but do remember waiting at the corner for the light to change. Assuming (since I don't remember) that there was a 50/50 split with negligence, why would a lawyer not want to move forward with this case? I've gone through 2 attorneys. The first one dropped it after several months following an unsuccessful mediation, and the second dropped it within a week. Neither firm could give me any explanation why. I was told they are not required to, but couldn't they at least give a simple sentence or two telling me what's wrong. By the way, the person who hit me was driving a rental and it was just after 9pm and dark and I didn't have a light on my bike. It happened in Florida and I was over 18 yrs. old.

It might have been because you were driving your bike at night without a light. Or because there were no witnesses.

SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE LUCKY THAT YOU ARE ALIVE.YOU SHOULD HAVE HAD A LIGHT ON THE BIKE THEY DROPPED THE CASE CAUSE THEY WOULDN'T GET PAIDANYTHING..YOU HAVE TO PROVE NEGLIGENCE..YOU HAVE NO CASE.......

Lawyers drop of refuse cases they cannot win or make money on. The mediation is attempt to get cash without going to court. The other party is refusing to come to terms. they most likely know you have little or memory of incident which gives your side no real base! That is why I feel they are doing this. I would just drop it. sorry if that's not the answer you want.

If you haven't, talk to legal aid or check this out.
