LET THE ATTORNEY HANDLE EVERYTHING

It is very important for you to remember when making a bicycle accident claim; that will put you in the anything you say can hurt your claim. Because of this, you should refrain from talking about the accident on any social media site. As long as the case is active, be careful about what you say in public and online.

If you are contacted by an attorney for the other party to the accident, tell them to speak to your lawyer. If the other party’s insurance company makes you an offer, tell them to speak to your lawyer and do not say anything further. For example, refrain from saying something that might be taken as an agreement to the insurance company’s terms.

Why Do You Need Bicycle Lawyers?

You will never obtain the amount of compensation you deserve if you do not hire a specialist bicycle injury law firm such as Nadrich & Cohen Accident Injury Lawyers. The insurance company will otherwise attempt to manipulate you by settling your claim for the smallest amount which is much less than we can obtain for you.

The insurance company will take advantage of you if you try to handle the claim yourself. They know you will never go into litigation, nor have independent doctors. You will most likely allow them to examine you by their doctors; and ultimately, they will offer you a minimal settlement. Do not let this happen to you or a loved one.

If you or your loved one was in a bicycle accident immediately contact Nadrich & Cohen Accident Injury Lawyers. We will provide you a free evaluation and we will never charge you, no matter what, unless we first obtain a recovery from the insurance company. You will never be under any obligation. We will never make you feel uncomfortable or intimidated.

Remember, you never pay anything unless and until we collect a recovery from the insurance company.

What To Do After A Bicycle Accident

These few basic steps will help you deal with the after-effects of an accident:

  • Get medical attention
  • Take pictures of your injuries
  • Take pictures of the accident scene and property damage, if possible
  • Contact a personal injury attorney
  • Let your attorney handle all communication with the insurance companies.

If claims are filed against another party for reasons of fault or negligence, it is important for you to follow these guidelines. You will want to refrain from saying or doing anything that can compromise your claim.

MEDICAL ATTENTION

First, you must seek medical treatment for your injuries. Remember always to follow the instructions from your doctor. Do not make the assumption that, in spite of what the doctor says, you feel capable of getting back to work or engaging in any strenuous activity. If the doctor tells you to stay away from specific activities, do as he or she says.

DOCUMENT YOUR INJURIES

If you can, photograph your injuries with a camera, cell phone or tablet. Also, keep track of all records of your treatment such as doctor’s instructions, prescriptions, reports from emergency personnel, etc. Any of these documents may hold a piece of crucial evidence for your case. Inform your lawyer of all treatment updates throughout your recovery.

DOCUMENT THE ACCIDENT

If possible, photograph the scene of the accident. Try to take photos of the dangerous condition that caused the accident, roadway debris and/or the general, physical condition of the accident site.

 How Bicyclists Can Protect Themselves

Here are some of the things we recommend to bicyclists in California to protect themselves:

  • Follow the law
  • Ride with the flow of traffic
  • Wear a helmet and helmet cam if possible
  • Wear bright colored clothing
  • Mount flashing lights on your bikes and use them all the time at night
  • Get a bicycle and/or uninsured motorist coverage under your automobile policy so you’re protected if a car hits you while you are riding your bicycle.
  • Maintain your bike in excellent repair
  • If you are in an accident, obtain immediate medical treatment.
  • File a police report
  • Retain a bicycle specialist lawyer

Oftentimes, we see instances where the police mistakenly cite our clients as the at-fault party for riding on sidewalks or without a helmet. This is incorrect and prejudicial. We will keep the police officer’s opinion inadmissible as evidence in court.

Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents

The following are some of the most common causes of bicycle accidents:

  • Automotive hit and run accidents
  • Bicyclist being crowded off the road
  • Failure of the motor vehicle to come to a complete stop at an intersection
  • Hitting potholes and roadway debris
  • Car doors being suddenly opened in the path of bicyclist
  • Poor street lighting
  • Unsafe guard rails on curves
  • Drunk drivers
  • Distracted Drivers

If you have been injured in a bicycle accident where you were not at fault, you may be overwhelmed by the challenges ahead. Thankfully, you do not have to face them alone. Nadrich & Cohen Accident Injury Lawyers specialize in helping accident victims obtain the best recovery.
