    Do I Need a Pedestrian/Bicycle Accident Attorney?

    If you’ve been severely injured in a pedestrian/bicycle accident, all your time and energy is likely focused on recovering as quickly as possible so that you can get back your work, your family, and your life. You may not have the time and energy to also fight against the insurance companies and lawyers to get the compensation you deserve for your injuries. You need a pedestrian/bicycle attorney who will take on the burden of fighting the insurance companies and law firms for the recovery you’re entitled to.

    Pedestrian/bicycle accident attorneys are well-versed in the types of damages victims of such accidents suffer. An attorney will know how to gather the information required to add up the costs you have already incurred. They will also be able to calculate your future damages by consulting experts to learn what future medical expenses you’re likely to incur and how much future income you stand to lose because of your injuries. An attorney can determine a fair and reasonable compensation figure that you should ask for, and negotiate with insurance to ensure you get it.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    If you’ve been injured in a bicycle or pedestrian accident, you are likely feeling overwhelmed and may not know how to get started with your injury claim. To ease some of your stress, we have provided the answers to some frequently asked questions. If you have specific questions about an accident, call us at (513) 351-5997 to schedule a free consultation right away.

    Assuming you don't need immediate emergency medical attention, gather information at the scene of the accident before seeking medical attention. Take pictures of the accident scene, including injuries, vehicle damage, skid marks, road conditions, and weather. If you are unable to do this yourself, as a friend or family member to do so for you. Refrain from speculating about the cause of the accident, making any kind of statement about your injuries, or apologizing when speaking to the other driver, police, or insurance. They may use those later to prove you were partially or completely at fault for your accident. Avoid signing any documentation from the insurance companies, even if they claim it is necessary to “process” your claim. You may end up signing away critical rights and losing the ability to seek compensation for all your damages. You should contact a pedestrian/bicycle attorney as soon as practical. Pedestrian/bicycle attorneys are experienced in investigating and handling claims such as yours and will ensure critical evidence is found and retained before it is lost. Hiring an attorney as soon as possible will also start the process of resolving your claim so that you receive fair and reasonable compensation. Even if you don’t feel like you were injured in your accident, you should see your primary care provider immediately after the accident. They may discover injuries you were unaware of. Getting treatment soon after your accident may also help you prove that your injuries were the result of the accident and not some other cause.
    Never accept a settlement offer until you first review it with an experienced pedestrian/bicycle attorney. The insurance companies know you are likely suffering from serious injuries, are facing expensive medical bills, and may be out of work. They are probably looking to take advantage of your desperation with a low-ball settlement offer. Don’t accept any settlement or sign any documents from the insurance company until you’ve spoken with an attorney who can advise you about your rights and what kind of compensation you may be entitled to.
    When you hire Lawrence & Associates Accident and Injury Lawyers, LLC to handle your pedestrian/bicycle accident case, you do not have to pay us anything unless we obtain compensation for you. We offer free consultations and will accept your case on a contingency agreement. If we obtain a settlement or a favorable judgment for you, our fees, case expenses, and court costs will be paid from the compensation you receive.
    In pedestrian and bicycle accident cases, there are usually four groups of damages you may be able to obtain compensation for:
    • Past and future medical expenses: Includes not only doctor visits and medication but also durable medical equipment and other equipment you may need to accommodate any disabilities you’ve suffered.
    • Past and future lost wages: You should be compensated not only for the work you’ve missed but the income you may miss out on if you must return to work with fewer hours or in a role with lower pay.
    • Past and future pain and suffering: You deserve compensation for the pain you’ve suffered and for the loss of enjoyment of life activities you’ve missed out on because of your injuries.
    • Loss of consortium: Depending on your marital and family status, your loved ones may also be entitled to compensation for the loss of your companionship as a result of your injuries.
    If your loved one was killed in a pedestrian or bicycle accident, certain family members may also be eligible for compensation for medical expenses, funeral expenses, loss of support, and more.
    The pedestrian/bicycle accident attorneys of Lawrence & Associates Accident and Injury Lawyers, LLC will work diligently and efficiently to resolve your claim. If the other party accepts responsibility for the accident, it may be possible to quickly resolve your claim if your damages are easily calculable. However, if the parties contest liability or the extent of your damages, it may be necessary to take your claim to court, which will take much longer.
