Common questions
Can my auto insurance help after a bicycle accident?
Yes, many cyclists are surprised to learn that their own auto insurance policies, specifically uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage and medical payments coverage, can provide benefits after a bicycle collision with a vehicle, even though you weren’t in your car. Brian and Fletcher will help identify all possible insurance sources to maximize your recovery.
What if a driver claims I wasn’t following bicycle laws?
Drivers and their insurance companies often try to shift blame to cyclists. Brian and Fletcher combat these arguments with thorough investigation, witness statements, and when necessary, accident reconstruction experts. Even if you were partially at fault, Arizona’s comparative negligence laws still allow you to recover damages, reduced by your percentage of fault.
What types of compensation can I receive for a bicycle accident injury?
Compensation typically includes medical expenses, bike replacement and repair costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and costs of future medical treatment. In cases involving permanent injuries, you may also receive compensation for diminished earning capacity, lifestyle modifications, and long-term care needs.
How soon after a bicycle accident should I seek legal help?
You should consult with an attorney as soon as possible after a bicycle accident. Critical evidence such as skid marks, vehicle damage, and witness statements must be preserved quickly. Additionally, there are strict time limits for filing claims, and early legal intervention can prevent costly mistakes when dealing with insurance companies.
Who pays my medical bills while my bicycle accident case is pending?
Initially, your health insurance may cover medical expenses, but you can often work with healthcare providers to arrange treatment on a lien basis (payment deferred until your case resolves). Brian and Fletcher also help coordinate benefits from auto insurance medical payments coverage when available, ensuring you receive necessary treatment without financial strain.
