People choose to ride bicycles for a variety of reasons, both personal and economic. Exercise and fresh air make bike riding an invigorating and healthy means of transportation. Many individuals with short commutes tend to favor bikes over cars because of lower costs and fewer maintenance hassles. Furthermore, those interested in environmental concerns ride bikes to lower carbon emissions and reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. Regardless of your reasons for getting on a bicycle, you’re sharing the road with other vehicles that are faster, heavier, and capable of causing significant injuries should a bicycle accident occur. Since your bicycle is considered a vehicle, you must follow the rules of the road as though you were driving a car, truck, or motorcycle.

Unfortunately, bicycle accidents do occur even if you do your best to follow traffic laws and make yourself visible to others on the road. This is especially true in urban areas with high traffic congestion and many nearby distractions. If a driver’s negligence caused injury during a bicycle accident, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, pain, suffering, and lost wages.
Of course, many bicyclists may not know where to turn when injured. They don’t have insurance on their bikes and may be unaware of the complexities of filing an insurance claim. This is especially true for Spanish-speaking cyclists who may feel overwhelmed by an insurance company’s lingo and/or tricks.
If you are injured in a bicycle accident that isn’t your fault, then you could be entitled to compensation for your injuries, lost work, and pain and suffering. Unfortunately, insurance companies want to save money by minimizing your injuries and offering you a quick payout below what you deserve. Why? Because insurance companies want to make a profit. They aren’t always looking out for your best interests.
Instead, you need a lawyer who is an expert at processing personal injury claims. Ward Law knows all the “tricks” of insurance companies. We will ensure you obtain the money you need to support your family and recover from your injuries.
You have enough to worry about as you heal. Let us communicate with the insurance companies and fill out the necessary paperwork. If the insurance company tries to deny your claim or offer you much less than you deserve, we will take them to court and fight to secure your livelihood.

If you are involved in a bicycle accident, the first thing you want to do is reach a safe location. If your accident occurs at a busy roadway or intersection, go to a safe spot away from other traffic. If possible, move your bike away from the highway to protect it from further damage.
Make sure that you call 911 or your local emergency number. When possible, stay at the scene of the bicycle accident. When the police arrive on the scene, they will draft an accident report, which will go to your insurance company.

Emergency medical personnel will assess your injuries and recommend whether you need to receive specialized treatment at a hospital.
