Have you been hit while riding your bicycle? You should talk to a lawyer as soon as possible. Negligence could have been a factor, in which you may be owed compensation for your injuries.
Nothing compares to the feeling of riding your bike. If it’s the way you love to get around town, then you probably know all of the hazards that come with biking around certain intersections. It can be dangerous to ride in bike lanes with traffic, especially when there are reckless and negligent drivers zooming past you.
However, as a society, we have worked hard to create more traffic lanes for bicycle riders. That hasn’t prevented bicycle accidents and deadly injuries resulting from the negligence of others. In the United States, around 1,000 bicyclists are killed in motor vehicle collisions each year. This number has continued to increase over the years.
If you have experienced extensive injuries or even a loved one’s death as a result of a motor vehicle collision, then you should talk with a bicycle accident attorney immediately. If there was negligence on the driver’s part, then you may be able to file a claim for compensation. This could cover medical expenses, loss of wages, and other damages accrued from the bicycle accident.
When we evaluate a case of a bicycle accident, we first always investigate what happened to prove negligence. It’s imperative that you can show the accident occurred through no fault of your own, which means that the driver broke traffic laws or may even have been intoxicated at the time of the accident.
You’ll need significant evidence to show that the driver was negligent and their recklessness led to the bicycle accident. You can receive compensation for your injuries if they occurred as a result of negligence in the accident.
To help you recover this compensation for your injuries, your attorney will need documentation and expert testimony. Our attorneys typically work with clients and provide additional resources to do the following:
Depending on whether the driver has insurance coverage, then you may need to negotiate to get the maximum financial compensation for your accident. However, it’s not always so easy to get these companies to pay the full amount that would cover your medical expenses, loss of wages, and pain and suffering.
If you haven’t taken your case to a personal injury attorney, then you could be losing valuable time to file and get compensation for your bike accident injury. There is a statute of limitations that starts from the day of the accident. In addition, you should gather all evidence that you have and get a case evaluation from one of our attorneys. This will provide you with any next steps you need to take, as well as the value of your accident.
In other cases where a bicycle defect led to your accident, you may be able to get even more compensation from a lawsuit involving the manufacturer.
We want to help with your bicycle accident claim and ensure that you are fairly represented, especially when negotiating with third parties and insurance companies. Let our legal team work to provide all the resources you need to support your case.
