WHY BIKE ACCIDENT VICTIMS NEED ATTORNEYS
Insurance companies do not want what is best for injured bicycle accident victims who file claims. They want to save themselves money by undervaluing damages, offering low settlements and denying claims as often as possible. To stand up for your rights against an insurance company after a bicycle accident, you may need assistance from an attorney. Using an Elk Grove cycling accident lawyer to represent your case could make the insurer offer a fairer settlement award. An attorney could make a great difference to the value of your recovery. If the insurer refuses to be reasonable, your lawyer can take the bike accident case to court in Elk Grove.

Accidents are especially dangerous for bicyclists because they do not have adequate protection from larger vehicles or trucks. Only a helmet – if worn – serves to protect a bicyclist, compared to the seat belts, airbags and metal enclosures of motor vehicles. Thus, motorists must be especially careful to avoid collisions with bicycles. When a motorist fails to fulfill this duty of care, causing a bicycle crash, the injured victim may have grounds for a claim.
