It costs absolutely nothing to see if you have a case
Bicycle accidents often result in more severe injuries and fatalities than other types of motor vehicle crashes. This heightened risk is due to several factors:
While the number of bicycle accidents in Alabama has declined over the last decade, the number of bicycle accident deaths has drastically increased:
Bike accidents often leave riders facing a brutal array of injuries that can change lives in an instant. The human body usually bears the full force of the moving vehicle, often causing catastrophic and sometimes fatal injuries.
While injuries vary greatly depending on the severity and type of crash, some of the more common bicycle accident injuries bike accident lawyers see are:
The road to recovery from these injuries is often long and difficult, requiring extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and, in some cases, a complete lifestyle overhaul.
According to the Alabama Department of Transportation’s annual Crash Facts report, most bike accidents in Alabama are not the cyclist’s fault.
If you cycle regularly, you likely know that some motorists don’t treat cyclists with caution and respect. Most cyclists encounter aggressive or impatient drivers from time to time, and many report road rage incidents.
In many cases, some form of negligence is the main culprit in bike accidents. Here’s a look at some of the common bicycle accident causes:
In Alabama, bicycle accidents are more likely to occur in urban areas. According to recent data, 86% of all bicycle crashes occur on urban streets, while 14% happen on rural routes. Hotspots for bicycle accidents often include:
When you’re recovering from a bicycle accident, the last thing you need is the added stress of navigating complex legal procedures. An Alabama bicycle accident lawyer can shoulder those burdens for you, vastly improving your chances of coming out on top.
An experienced and proven Alabama personal injury attorney will:
TopDog Law can connect you with a local attorney who has experience handling bicycle accident cases in Alabama and understands the state’s specific laws and regulations.
Establishing that someone else’s negligence was the sole cause of your bike accident is fundamental to every personal injury claim in Alabama. To determine if you have a valid bicycle accident claim, your lawyer must lay the groundwork for your case with four key elements:
An experienced Alabama bicycle accident lawyer will gather evidence to prove these elements and build a strong case.
After a bicycle accident, you may be entitled to various types of compensation, including:
The goal of compensation is to make the victim “whole” again, as much as possible. This philosophy recognizes that money can’t undo the accident, but it can help alleviate the financial burden and provide resources for recovery.
Financial recovery also aids in physical and psychological recovery, according to a study of “financial toxicity” among people with serious injuries and illnesses. Financial hardship following an injury is extremely common and is associated with substantially worse outcomes, both mentally and physically.
To strengthen your bicycle accident claim:
Insurance adjusters are trained to protect company profits by minimizing and denying personal injury claims. There are several ways they may do this, but one of the most common approaches is to offer you a low settlement that may seem okay at first but fails to compensate you for all of your damages.
If you accept their lowball settlement, you’ll be stuck with it. You can’t go back later and ask for more.
An Alabama bicycle accident attorney from TopDog’s network will stop insurance companies from taking advantage of you. They will accurately value your claim and aggressively negotiate a settlement that fairly compensates you for all your damages and losses.
In Alabama, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims, including bicycle accidents, is generally two years from the date of the accident. However, there are several reasons to take legal action as soon as possible:
Additionally, building a strong case takes time. The sooner you start the process, the better prepared you’ll be positioned to obtain full and fair compensation.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a bicycle accident in Alabama, don’t wait to seek legal help. TopDog Law will connect you with an experienced Alabama bicycle accident lawyer who can evaluate your case, explain your rights, and fight for the compensation you deserve.
While nothing can completely undo the harm you’ve suffered, the right compensation can make your recovery a little easier and lift the financial pressures you’re facing.
