As with any accident injury, you need to seek medical attention right away. The sooner you file a claim, the better. Our personal injury attorneys can assure that your claim is filed with the right information and within the proper time frame.

• In a contest between a car and a bicycle, the bicycle and the cyclist will suffer the greater damage. Often a car driver will not see a cyclist, turn in front of the bicycle, or open a door into the cyclist's path.
• A bicyclist has very little protection in a bicycle accident. The injuries can be serious including bone fractures, head injuries (traumatic brain injury), serious scarring, loss of limb, or spinal cord injury. If a loved one has died in a bicycle accident, we can assist the estate in filing a wrongful death claim.
• When a bicycle accident is caused by equipment failure, you may have a product liability claim against the manufacturer, the distributor, the retail store, or the repair shop. If a spoke breaks or a wheel falls off, the injuries can require extensive medical care.
• In organized bike rides, a bicycle accident may be caused by improper markings or by poor traffic directing. Tell us about your bicycle accident.
• Was your bike injury caused by poor road conditions or dangerous bike trail conditions? Unmarked broken pavement can be especially dangerous to a bicyclist. Talk to a lawyer about your bicycle accident.

Do not lose your right to sue. There are statutes of limitations on personal injury claims. You have 6 months to give notice from the date of the accident. By filing a claim quickly, you will protect those rights. Contact a personal injury lawyer to discuss your case. The consultation is free. All of our fees for injury cases are contingency based: You owe no attorney fees unless we recover funds for you.
