Hartford, CT Bicycle Accident Lawyer

Bicycle accidents can happen for various reasons, but they’re often the result of another driver’s recklessness or negligence. Unlike car crashes, where a victim has protection, in a bicycle accident, there may not be much protection, even if the rider is wearing safety gear like a helmet. Even a small bump can send a rider to the emergency room, resulting in hefty medical bills.

Pursuing compensation after a bicycle accident isn’t always a straightforward process. Many victims and their families fill out a claim only to have their or the other party’s insurance company deny the claim. Even when the insurance companies do offer a settlement, often the amount doesn’t compare to the true total compensation you’re entitled to.

Settlements can cover a wide area, and they’re not just limited to medical expenses and property damage. Many victims are unable to work for some time following the accident. Our legal team may also account for emotional distress or pain and suffering, especially if the incident has taken a toll on your mental health.

Insurance companies are more willing to offer a fair settlement if they know you have legal representation. Should the other side refuse to offer a fair settlement, then our team can apply legal pressure.
