Jefferson Bicycle Accident Lawyer

Cycling has become a more popular activity, as people use their bicycles to exercise and as a means of transportation. Along with an increasing number of bicyclists comes more accidents and injuries. Motorists do not always exercise the due care that they should when a bicyclist is on the road, even though there is a legal obligation to share the road. Injured bicyclists can recover financial compensation for an accident that was someone else's fault.

Before you can receive a check, you must take legal action. Our attorneys are here to help you build your strongest possible case.

Common Types of Bicycle Accidents

Here are some common examples of bicycle accidents:

• A motorist crashes into a cyclist because they have not left enough room when trying to pass the bike.
• A car driver or passenger knocks the cyclist to the ground because they have opened a car door when the bike is going by them.
• A motorist runs into the back of a bicyclist when they are not looking because they are sending a text.
• The motorist does not yield when the bicyclist has the right-of-way.

Besides distracted driving, motorists can cause accidents involving bicycles by doing the following:

• Speeding
• Reckless driving
• Illegal lane changes
• Not checking their blind spots
• Drunk driving

Bicycle Accident Injuries

Bicycle accident injuries tend to be far worse than those sustained in car crashes. Bicyclists are vulnerable to serious injuries just like pedestrians because they have nothing besides a helmet to protect them from the injuries that may be caused by the impact of colliding with the car and/or the pavement. The odds are overwhelming that the bicyclist would suffer some type of injury in the accident.

Here are some common injuries that bicyclists may suffer in a crash:

• Broken bones
• Spinal cord injuries
• Neck and back injuries
• Soft tissue issues
• Cuts and lacerations
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Internal injuries

Proving Someone Is Legally Responsible for Your Accident

Before you can even discuss financial compensation, you must show that someone else was responsible for your bicycle accident. The examples that we gave above would be situations where someone else would be legally obligated to pay you. However, your word alone is not enough in a bicycle accident case. It is not so much about what you say happened as it is about what you can prove happened.

Proof requires evidence that you cannot necessarily gather on your own when you are dealing with serious bicycle accident injuries. Your attorney will get right to work as soon as you hire them and investigate your accident, assembling the proof necessary to satisfy a jury or insurance company.

FAQ

ANSWERS FOR YOUR QUESTIONS

What if the insurance company denies my claim?

If the insurance company does not admit that their driver is at fault, you can take the case to court and have a jury decide.

How do I know how much my case is worth?

You would not really know how much money you can get until you speak with a lawyer.

How much do I need to pay a bicycle accident lawyer?

Nothing upfront. We would receive a percentage of your proceeds, but we get nothing if you do not win.

Bicycle Accident Settlements

When it comes time to talk about compensation, it is not usually an easy conversation. The driver who hit you likely has auto insurance, which will step into the driver's shoes to handle the case. Then, you may be dealing with your own insurance company if that driver did not have enough insurance coverage.

One of the key functions that Parisi Injury Law performs is negotiating compensation. Even seemingly minor injuries may be worth tens of thousands of dollars. Medical treatment on its own is expensive before you even account for other elements of your damages. Your bicycle accident injuries can include:

• Medical bills
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering
• Permanent disfigurement
• Loss of enjoyment of life

If your loved one died in a bicycle accident, your family can file a wrongful death claim that would compensate you for your own personal injury of tragically losing a loved one.

You should not handle the legal process on your own when you are dealing with serious personal injuries. Further, you would not want to try to represent yourself because the insurance company will get the better of you. An experienced bicycle accident lawyer will investigate your accident and work to get you every dollar you deserve when someone else is at fault for your injuries. They will explain your legal options and be available to you throughout your case.
