If you're a cyclist who has been injured in a car or truck accident, you may be entitled to compensation for the injuries you sustained. However, if you were not the driver of the vehicle, your case may not be as easy to win. The process of filing a claim for damages is complex and fact-specific. You may face aggressive insurance adjusters who try to minimize your settlement, or you may be left with no way to get the full value of your claim. 

Motor vehicle drivers must pay attention to bicyclists and obey traffic laws. Bicycle riders are vulnerable to accidents caused by motor vehicles, and you need an experienced attorney to fight for your rights. In fact, many serious bike accidents result from the negligence of the motor vehicle driver, and you need an experienced Bicyclist Traffic Injury Lawyer to help you prove that the driver was at fault. The attorneys at our firm can also investigate the contributing factors of your accident and determine whether your case is worth the compensation you deserve.

If you are in a bicycle accident, the police will document the incident, and it is important to fill out a police report. This report will include details about the accident, including the names of witnesses. Additionally, you should take pictures or videos of the scene, and document the extent of your injuries. If possible, avoid making any statements or admitting fault, as private investigators or insurance adjusters may read through them. 

The state requires drivers to be more careful when passing bicycles. Failure to yield to these vulnerable road users can lead to harsher penalties, including criminal charges for misdemeanor offenses. Bicycle accident attorneys fight for the rights of cyclists by gathering evidence, interviewing investigating officers, and consulting medical providers. This allows them to get the full compensation they deserve for their injuries. And since bicycles are an important part of our transportation system, it is vital to protect those who use bicycles on the road.

A bicycle accident attorney will work on your behalf to get compensation for your injuries. A bicycle accident attorney will be able to gather evidence and medical records to prove the other party's negligence. After collecting all the evidence, your attorney will negotiate with the insurance company for the highest compensation. If the insurance company is unwilling to cooperate with the attorney, they may opt for a settlement or compromise amount. But these are still not ideal situations for bicycle accident victims.

As with any accident, the aftermath of a bicycle accident is terrifying and confusing. You may think that the easiest option is to file a personal injury claim or complaint with the driver's insurance company. 

Statistics show that bicyclists are seriously injured in automobile accidents. Every six hours, one cyclist dies in the USA. Children are the most frequently injured and killed in bicycle accidents. And one million children are injured in bicycle accidents every year. Three-fourths of all bicycle accident fatalities involve motor vehicles. Motor vehicle versus bicycle accidents usually result in catastrophic injuries and fatalities. The following are just a few of the statistics that highlight the importance of having an experienced attorney in your corner.
