Work with a trusted attorney on your bicycle accident

{ "content": "Prioritize your safety. Check for injuries and call 911 immediately. If you can, move out of traffic. Exchange information with the driver, including their name, contact, insurance, and license plate number. Get contact details from any witnesses. Document everything by taking photos of the scene, your bike, the vehicle, and your injuries. Avoid admitting fault. Seek medical attention right away, even for minor pain, as some injuries appear later. A medical record is critical for your claim. Finally, consult with a bicycle accident lawyer before speaking to insurance companies.", "props": {} }

{ "content": "You likely have a case if you were injured due to another party's negligence. This means the driver or another entity was at fault for the crash. Key factors include proving the other party was careless (e.g., speeding, distracted driving, failed to yield), that this carelessness caused the accident, and that the accident resulted in your injuries and other damages (like medical bills, lost wages, and damage to your bike). Contacting us for a free case evaluation is the best way to know for sure.", "props": {} }

{ "content": "Compensation, or 'damages,' can cover a range of losses. This includes all current and future medical expenses, lost income if you couldn't work, reduced earning capacity for long-term injuries, and the cost to repair or replace your bicycle and other damaged property. You can also seek damages for non-economic losses, such as physical pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life resulting from the accident.", "props": {} }

{ "content": "Every state has a time limit, known as the statute of limitations, to file a lawsuit, typically ranging from one to four years from the date of the accident. It is crucial to act quickly. If you miss this deadline, you will likely lose your right to recover any compensation. The specific timeframe depends on your state's laws, so consulting with an attorney promptly is essential to protect your rights.", "props": {} }

{ "content": "Most likely, no. The vast majority of bicycle accident claims are settled out of court through negotiations between your lawyer and the insurance company. Filing a lawsuit may be necessary if the insurer refuses to offer a fair settlement, but even then, most cases settle before a trial begins. Our goal is to secure maximum compensation for you as efficiently as possible, whether at the negotiating table or, if necessary, in court.", "props": {} }
