Portland Bicycle Accident Lawyers
Bike Accident & Injury Attorneys
Bicycle accidents often cause catastrophic injury or even death – most often to the bicycle rider. It is an unfortunate truth that many motorists on the road today are not aware of the traffic laws as they pertain to bicycle riders and their right of way. Other motorists are simply unaware and may be distracted, therefore turning directly into the path of a cyclist or colliding with a bicycle rider who was actually obeying the traffic laws.
A Portland bicycle accident lawyer may be able to help you if you have been injured in a bicycle accident. It will take hard work, a thorough investigation and possibly accident reconstruction to determine the cause of the accident and how to prove the other party’s responsibility. However, with the right lawyer at your side, you have the opportunity to prove the driver’s liability, file a personal injury claim and collect monetary compensation to pay for property damage, medical bills, lost wages and emotional trauma.
It is often not easy to collect just compensation following a bicycle accident. The other party’s insurance company may want to speak with you and get a recorded statement regarding the accident. Their ulterior motive here is to have you say something which will indicate that you were responsible for the accident. The insurance company may try to deny or delay your claim, or may offer you a settlement which is far below what your claim is actually worth. Working with an aggressive lawyer is how you can help ensure that you are not taken advantage of by a large insurance company and that you receive just compensation.
