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.

  • Free Case Evaluation — No Upfront Fees

  • Connect with Medical & Therapy Doctors

  • We Fight for Maximum Compensation

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.

We Treat Every Client Like Family.

Our job isn’t just to win your case it’s to make sure you feel supported and informed every step of the way. We fight for fair compensation, handle the paperwork and insurance calls, and help you get your life back on track fast.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if the accident aggravated an old injury?2025-10-27T04:43:57+00:00

You can still recover compensation. If the accident made a pre-existing condition worse — like back pain, neck problems, or anxiety — you may be entitled to damages for the aggravation.

The law recognizes that an at-fault party is responsible for making your condition worse, even if you had prior health issues.

How long does it take to settle a personal injury case?2025-10-27T04:43:01+00:00

It depends on your injuries and how cooperative the insurance company is.

  • Simple cases may resolve in a few months.

  • Complex ones (involving serious injuries, multiple vehicles, or semi-trucks) can take longer.
    We never rush a case just to settle — we take the time needed to ensure you receive the full value of your claim. Throughout the process, we’ll keep you updated and answer every question you have.

What if I don’t have health insurance or can’t afford treatment?2025-10-27T04:42:32+00:00

Don’t worry — we help you get the care you need without paying upfront.


We work with medical providers, physical therapists, and psychological specialists across Utah who accept letters of protection (LOPs) — meaning you receive treatment now and pay once your case settles.

This includes physical therapy, chiropractic care, massage, pain management, and mental health therapy for anxiety or trauma.

What should I do right after an accident?2025-10-27T04:40:02+00:00

Your safety comes first. Check for injuries and call 911 immediately if anyone is hurt. If possible, move to a safe area and exchange information with the other driver. Take photos of the scene, vehicle damage, and visible injuries. Even if you feel okay, get medical care right away — many serious injuries don’t show symptoms immediately.

Before speaking to any insurance adjusters, contact our office so we can help protect your rights and guide you through the process from day one.

Do I really need an attorney after a car, truck, or UTV accident?2025-10-27T04:40:21+00:00

Yes. Insurance companies often try to pay the lowest amount possible or deny valid claims. A lawyer ensures you get fair treatment and full compensation for your injuries, medical care, and property damage. We handle the paperwork, coordinate with doctors, and fight for you — so you can focus on healing while we handle everything else.

How much does it cost to hire Herbert Law Group?2025-10-27T04:40:40+00:00

Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning our payment comes from a percentage of your settlement or verdict — not from your pocket. If we don’t win your case, you owe us nothing. This allows every injured person to get quality legal representation regardless of income or immigration status.

What if the other driver has no insurance or leaves the scene?2025-10-27T04:40:59+00:00

You still have options. Utah law allows you to file a claim through your uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage (UM/UIM) if you have it. Even in hit-and-run cases, we can help investigate, gather surveillance footage, or work with authorities to identify the at-fault driver.


Our team ensures that you explore every available path for financial recovery.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?2025-10-27T04:41:15+00:00

Utah follows the comparative negligence rule, which means you can still receive compensation if you’re less than 50% at fault. Your recovery will simply be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you’re found 20% responsible for a $100,000 claim, you can still receive $80,000.


Our attorneys work hard to minimize your fault percentage and maximize your payout.

How long do I have to file a claim?2025-10-27T04:41:33+00:00

The time limit, known as the statute of limitations, depends on the case:

  • Personal Injury: 4 years from the date of the accident.

  • Wrongful Death: 2 years from the date of passing.

  • Property Damage: 3 years.
    Waiting too long can weaken your case — evidence fades, witnesses move, and insurance deadlines expire. It’s best to start as soon as possible so we can preserve all documentation and evidence.

What compensation can I recover after an accident?2025-10-27T04:41:50+00:00

You may be entitled to several types of damages, including:

  • Medical expenses (current and future treatment, therapy, medication)

  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity

  • Property damage (vehicle repair or replacement)

  • Pain and suffering

  • Emotional distress and psychological trauma

  • Loss of enjoyment of life
    Every case is unique, so we calculate your full damages before negotiating with insurance companies to ensure you receive what you truly deserve.
