Involved in a Bicycle Accident? Know Your Rights and Get the Help You Deserve
If you’ve been in a bicycle accident, you’re not alone. In many cases, the cyclist isn’t at fault, but they still suffer the most serious injuries. That’s why it’s crucial to seek immediate medical attention and professional help to protect your rights from the start.
In 2023, more than 1,000 cyclists were killed and over 130,000 were injured in bicycle crashes across the United States most involving collisions with motor vehicles.
Why Cyclists Shouldn’t Deal With Insurance Alone
After a bicycle accident, insurance companies may act helpful but their main goal is to pay you as little as possible.
They might try to blame you for the crash, minimize your injuries, or offer a quick settlement that doesn’t cover long-term medical care or lost wages.
At Herbert Law Group, we protect your rights and handle all communication with the insurance company, so you can focus on healing while we fight for the full compensation you deserve.
We Protect Your Right to Fair Compensation
After a bicycle accident, you have the right to receive full compensation for everything you’ve lost not just your medical bills. Many insurance companies try to cover only short-term costs, but your recovery can take months or even years. At Herbert Law Group, we carefully analyze every detail of your case to ensure that no loss goes unnoticed, including medical expenses, future treatments, lost wages, reduced income, pain and suffering, property damage such as your bike or personal gear, and emotional trauma or therapy needs. Our goal is to recover the full value of your case, not just what the insurance company wants to offer. You focus on your recovery — we’ll take care of the rest.
Physical Recovery After a Bicycle Accident
After a bicycle accident, getting the right medical attention as soon as possible is essential even if you think your injuries are minor. Many cyclists suffer from hidden injuries like internal damage, concussions, or soft tissue trauma that can worsen over time.
At Herbert Law Group, we help you get the medical care you need immediately, connecting you with trusted doctors, physical therapists, and specialists who understand bicycle accident injuries. You don’t need to worry about upfront costs we make sure your treatment is covered while your case is in progress.
Should You Be Worried If Your Bike Is Your Only Mode of Transportation?
At Herbert Law Group, we understand how serious this situation can be. Your bicycle isn’t just transportation it’s your independence, your job, and part of your daily life. That’s why you may be entitled to compensation not only for your injuries, but also for the loss of use of your bicycle, replacement costs, and the financial hardship of being unable to commute.
We make sure the insurance company recognizes the true value your bicycle holds in your life, far beyond its price tag. While we handle your claim, we also help you access resources and temporary transportation options, so you can keep moving forward without interrupting your routine or your recovery.
Your Safety and Your Rights Deserve Protection
As a cyclist, you have the same rights as any driver on the road. The law requires motorists to share the road, keep a safe distance, and respect your space. If a careless or distracted driver causes an accident, you have the right to seek fair compensation for your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and damage to your bicycle or gear. At Herbert Law Group, we fight to hold negligent drivers accountable and to protect your rights as a cyclist. Our commitment is to help you obtain the compensation you deserve and guide you through every step of the process, so you can focus on your recovery while we handle the rest.
