Woodland Bicycle Accident Lawyer
Most collisions between cars and bikes result in catastrophic injuries for the bicyclist. If this is your situation, find out how to get compensated by speaking with a Woodland bicycle accident lawyer.
After getting injured in a bicycle-car accident, you may be overwhelmed and wondering what your next step should be. Your medical bills are likely through the roof, and you may be unable to earn a living because of the seriousness of your injuries. The experience may have left you and your family in financial and emotional turmoil.
To alleviate the financial mess your accident has caused, you can file a personal injury claim to recover damages for your injuries if someone else was at fault. A Woodland bicycle accident lawyer from Crowell Law Offices can help you obtain the payout you are entitled to.
Sharing the Road with Motor Vehicles
About 45,000 injuries are reported every year from bicycle collisions. Because of the lack of protection a cyclist has and the obvious difference in size between a motor vehicle and a bicycle, severe and life-changing debilitating injuries usually result—even death.
Cyclists are usually aware of their surroundings, but collisions most often occur when drivers of motor vehicles fail to properly share the road with them.
Your accident may have happened while you were riding parallel to a motorist who turned into your path while making a left- or right-hand turn. More commonly, a driver may have failed to yield to you at a traffic light, intersection, or crosswalk. Drivers can be distracted, inattentive, fatigued, or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Recovering Damages for Your Bicycle-Car Accident
No matter how the bike accident happened, when another person is at fault, you are allowed to seek compensation for your medical bills and lost wages, as well as money for any emotional trauma you have endured.
To get your life back on track, it is necessary for your Woodland bicycle accident lawyer to ensure that you will recover the maximum settlement for your lost wages, medical bills, and any out-of-pocket costs, such as medical devices, equipment, or alterations to your home or car if you are disabled from the crash.
