Frequently Asked Questions about Bike Accidents
QUESTION:
How soon after my bicycle accident should I call you?
ANSWER:
You should call us immediately. Also, we do not believe that you should talk to the insurance company of the person who ran into you until after you have consulted a lawyer. The insurance adjuster that you are talking with probably does not have your best interests at heart, and you may be asked questions that you are not prepared to answer. If you have been injured in a bicycle accident you need to know right away what insurance coverage is in place to cover your medical expenses and lost wages.
QUESTION:
Can I recover even if the motorist never hit me?
ANSWER:
Yes. Many people are under the misconception that there has to be physical contact between a cyclist and a motor vehicle for the motorist to be liable. This is not true. There are many situations where cyclists are injured when they take evasive action to avoid being hit, and crash as a result. The motorist can still be held liable if their negligence required the cyclist to take the evasive action.
QUESTION:
Does my auto insurance cover accidents when I am on my bike?
ANSWER:
Many auto policies will cover you if you are injured in a bicycle accident or while on foot.
QUESTION:

ANSWER:
You should contact us and we can discuss your case. Our consultation on a personal injury case is always free.
