How Much Is My Bicycle Accident Case Worth?
Our lawyers can help you seek the compensation you deserve after this tragic incident. Take a look at one of our successful case results for a bike injury client:
- $51,900: Another driver forced our client’s bike to skid, resulting in a leg injury. We fought for this result after his initial claim was denied.
Causes and Liability in Bicycle Accidents
If you’re in a car accident while riding your bicycle, it’s important to understand what happened so your attorney can place liability on the driver. Common causes of bicycle accidents include:
- Speeding cars
- Drunk driving
- Distracted driving
- Obstructed left-handed turns
- Opening a car door
- Backing up without looking
- Merging or passing
Even if you think the driver was clearly at fault, they may deny responsibility to their insurer. An experienced Topeka bike accident attorney and support staff of investigators, case managers, and medical record specialists can uncover the truth and help you seek the justice you are owed.
When Should I File a Bicycle Accident Claim?
Since bicycles don’t offer you a lot of protection, you are much more vulnerable to suffering severe injuries when in an accident. Some of the most common injuries you can sustain include:
- Broken bones
- Dislocated joints
- Facial injury
- Fractures
- Internal organ damage
- Road rash
- Spinal cord injury
- Traumatic brain injury

What Types of Compensation Can I Seek Afte a Bike Crash?
Insurers typically make pedestrians initial offers that are far below the amount you deserve. While the money might cover your current hospital bills and then some, the expenses from a wreck can multiply in less obvious ways.
If your injury requires extensive treatment or will leave you with a lasting disability, it is essential to ensure your settlement will cover the costs you can expect to face in the future.
We can help you calculate the amount you deserve for:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Decreased earning capacity
- Long-term care
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Disfigurement or disability
- Funeral or burial cost (if the accident resulted in the wrongful death of a loved one)
