Bicycle Accident

Determining liability for a bike accident can be complex, often involving conflicting reports between the driver and cyclist. Having eyewitnesses or truthful drivers is crucial.

Attorneys assess the situation to establish the other driver’s fault and financial responsibility for damages, ensuring proper legal strategies are implemented.

Fault assignment is critical; in some states, even minor faults can affect compensation eligibility, while in others, compensation reduces based on fault percentage
(comparative negligence). Mismanagement of this can impact your case negatively.

After determining fault, calculating deserved compensation is essential. Personal injury claims categorize damages into economic (medical bills, earning losses) and non-economic (pain, trauma). Both are integral to understanding the total financial impact of the accident.
