Knowledgeable Lawyers for Complex Bicycle Accident Claims
While accidents involving motor vehicles and bicycles may seem straightforward, the reality is that these cases are often highly-complex and involve multiple parties, insurance companies and theories of liability. Common factors in bicycle accidents include:
- Driver Negligence – Driver negligence is a leading cause of bicycle accidents. Depending on the facts involved, more than one driver could potentially be responsible for the accident. For example, if the driver who hit you swerved in order to avoid being hit by someone else, both drivers could be at fault.
- Employer Liability – If the person who struck you was driving within the scope of employment, then his or her employer could be liable for your injuries.
- Vehicle Defects and Maintenance Issues – From tire defects to faulty brakes, vehicle defects and maintenance issues are factors in more accidents than most people realize.
- Road Defects and Maintenance Issues – Low shoulders, potholes, blind curves, and other road defects and maintenance issues are potential factors in bicycle accidents as well.
- Bicycle and Helmet Defects – Did a component of your bicycle fail and worsen the accident? Did your helmet fail to protect you? Even if a driver hit you, issues with your bicycle, helmet, or other riding gear could provide you with claims against the designer or manufacturer.
When you have a bicycle accident claim, the insurance companies will do everything in their power (and sometimes more) to deny you just compensation. In order to negotiate a settlement, you need to be able to convince them that it is not worth taking your case to court.
At Ragain & Clark, PC, we are trial lawyers. The insurance companies know we will not back down and they understand that they cannot employ their usual tactics to take advantage of our clients. Insurers also know that we take serious cases, our lawyers will not hesitate to go to court, and we will not stop fighting until we have won the financial compensation our client deserves.
