• Amputations
• Catastrophic injuries from falling, including traumatic brain injury, back and neck injuries, and paralysis
• Disfigurement
• Fractures
• Head injury
• Infection
• Internal organ damage and failure
• Lacerations

• Spinal cord injury
• Wrongful death

Whether we are negotiating a modest settlement or litigating a catastrophic case, all bicycle cases are important to us – big or small.  

When Should I Hire a Bicycle Attorney?

As soon as you can after the incident.

Negligent and inattentive drivers cause most bicycle crashes, causing serious injury or death to a cyclist. Many factors contribute to biking accidents, but most bicycle crashes are caused by vehicles:

• Driving in or over areas designated for use of cyclists and pedestrians
• Drunk or impaired driving
• Failure to obey traffic control devices
• Failure to see bicyclists on the road
• Opening of a car door before checking for cyclists (being doored)
• Speeding or reckless driving
• Unlawful and dangerous turns

Insurance companies will predictably contact you soon after the accident. Expect a call from an agent or claims adjuster. They will ask you to provide a recorded statement. Do not do this until you have legal representation.

You may also be offered a quick lump-sum settlement. That money is not likely the fair value of your injuries. You want an attorney to help you recover for all your damages – past, present, and future pain and suffering, medical bills, and lost wages.
