Bicycle accidents are often severe and serious due to the discrepancy in weight and strength of a bicyclist versus a regular vehicle. More often than not, bicycle accidents happen suddenly and unexpectedly, but usually as a result of another person’s negligence and failure to pay attention to cyclists on the road. Unfortunately, bicycle accidents result in severe injuries, often leading to brain injury, paralysis, and even death.
Following a bicycle accident you are probably feeling physically unwell and mentally burdened. It can be difficult to know how to handle insurance companies (both yours and the other driver’s) or how much your accident will be worth in the end. Speaking with a bicycle accident attorney could help you get the greatest financial recovery available.

Steps We Will Take With Your Bicycle Accident Case:
Every case is different, but there are some key steps that we take with almost every bicycle accident client. Understanding the steps we will take as your attorney is a good way to get more comfortable with the entire personal injury process.
Determine Liability. Our first step will be to determine who was behaving negligently and ultimately, who caused your accident. In many cases, liability can be shared but that does not mean that you must forgo damages. Our first step in every case will be determining exactly where the blame lies.
Determine Damages. Based on the specifics of your accident, you may be entitled to damages for your medical bills, lost wages, lost property, pain and suffering, and punitive damages. We will help you to determine which damages you should seek.
File a Claim With Insurance. Insurance companies are not on your side. We will handle 100% of the communication with insurance companies. We are very experienced with their antics and will push them to pay you what you deserve and nothing less.
Help You Get back on Your Feet. If you need a temporary vehicle, we will arrange it for you. If you need medical care, we can set you up with high quality healthcare providers. It is important to us that you get back to normal life as quickly as possible, and so we take on the burden of that ourselves.
Legal Tip. Never take the first settlement offered from an insurance company. They are trained and instructed to pay victims less than they deserve. If you have already been offered a settlement, call us to discuss it.
Free To Get Your Case Started. We accept accident cases on a contingency fee basis. This means that there will be no cost to you unless we recover an accident settlement on your behalf. Our Accident Attorneys at Chris and Frank Accident Attorneys will aggressively fight for you until justice is served, whether it is through an accident settlement or a trial. Our dedicated and caring team of attorneys will be available to you 24/7.
