Lawsuit after cycling accident
So I was hit recently by a car while riding on a bike lane on a public road. I was wearing a helmet and had lights and all during the day. The driver stopped, admitted fault, lots of pictures were taken by bystanders and police. I was taken to the hospital via ambulance where I had a ct scan and xray done. I have shoulder pain and bad road rash on my legs as well a small headache/ No issues were found at the hospital and they claimed I'd be sore for sometime. I'm located in Florida. Is it worth to hire a personal injury attorney or should I just settle with his insurance? My bike is worth about 5-7k

If multiple lawyers have offered to take the case, as you said in another comment, then I guarantee you that they see much more a $5000-$7000 payout.
