Bicycle Accidents

Need An Injury Attorney Arkansas – Bicycle Accident

Cycling is a wonderful hobby and if practiced with caution is a relatively safe activity. However, when a cyclist takes to the road the there are significant dangers at risk. The main problem is cars do not notice bicycles until it is too late. The rules of driving mean yielding the right of way to cyclists but there is some confusion as many drivers do not allow bicycles to pass. Drivers might become frustrated by the slower pace of the bicycles. This should not be the case and when a cyclist is injured in a bicycle accident, filing the claim can become a difficult process. If you have been injured in a bicycle accident then you need to contact a personal injury attorney as soon as you can after seeking emergency medical treatment.

The idea is to establish negligence on the part of the driver. This does not have to be a malicious act. If it were then criminal charges might be in order. Simply causing the bicycle to fall off the road and badly injure the cyclist is enough for an act of negligence. If the car strikes the unsuspecting cyclist without intent then it must be proven that the car could have avoided the accident. Cars and bicycles are supposed to share the road. Bicycles must obey the same traffic signs and rules as cars. Most bicycle accidents are the result of a driver making an unsafe lane change or a turn at an intersection without first checking their mirrors. The other major cause of bicycle accidents is when a parked car opens a door. Usually, the cyclist darts to avoid hitting the door and ends up being hit by another car. This can cause catastrophic injuries to the rider because of the speed and size of the car and the lack of protection for the cyclist.

The attorneys of Needaninjuryattorneyarkansas.com are here to help you, the victim, every step of the way. We will help you file the necessary paperwork for the claim. We will help you get a thorough medical examination to discover all injuries from the accident. We will compile enough evidence from the scene of the accident to help determine the act of negligence. Next, we will communicate on your behalf to the associated parties and the insurers to get you the maximum compensation for your claim. The law entitles you to receive financial compensation for your medical bills from the accident, wages from loss of work, and a sum for your pain and suffering. If the insurance denies your claim after we speak to them we will take the matter to court. Many insurance companies will delay claims when brought forth by an individual but hasten their responses when a lawyer is involved. They fear litigation and sometimes this is all that is needed to get the claim going in the victim’s direction.
