Bicycle Accidents 101

Being invovled in a bicycle accident can have a devastating impact on your life.  The injuries a cyclist suffers when involved in an accident with a car, truck or other motor vehicle can be severe.  Not being protected like a passenger in a car, cyclists injuries can range from broken bones to catastrophic life-altering injuries and death.

Bicycle accidents are typically caused by the motor vehicle operater who “didn’t see,” “didn’t look,” or was “just distracted.”  Since bicycle accidents result in serious injuries, you must have a serious law firm handling your case.  A complete and thorough investigation must be conducted to identify all sources of recovery.  You may be getting phone calls and letters from the insurance company.  DO NOT SPEAK WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANY OR SIGN ANY PAPERS until you have had the chance to discuss your case with an experienced bicycle accident attorney.
