Jasper Bicycle Accident Lawyers Defend Accident Survivors
We know that most Hoosiers haven’t memorized the ins and outs of bicycle law, let alone the civil statutes that give them the right to recover from serious accidents. That’s why Vaughan & Vaughan offers its representative services on a contingency fee basis. We want all Hoosiers to have the chance to get the advice they need to recover from a bike accident.
In the immediate aftermath of your crash, you can reach out to one of our Jasper bicycle accident lawyers to request a meeting. During that meeting, we can discuss the circumstances that led to your crash and your subsequent right to accident damages. Should you choose to work with us to recover, we can:
Interface With Insurance Claims Adjusters
If a motorist, motorcyclist, or similar party caused your accident, there’s a good chance they have insurance. You may subsequently have the right to file an insurance claim with your liable party’s provider. However, this isn’t always a straightforward process that is guaranteed to get you the compensation you deserve.
Unfortunately, insurance companies are often greedy to the point of hurting their clients. Insurance claims adjusters can use underhanded tactics to slow down your claim filing process or even deny your claim without consideration.
It’s with the risk of bad-faith behavior in mind that our attorneys encourage bicycle accident survivors like you to work with our staff before filing an insurance claim. We can make sure your claim accurately describes the nature of your accident and complies with an insurance company’s expectations. We can also step in if an adjuster tries to minimize your recovery.
Explore Your Right to File a Personal Injury Claim
There’s a chance you won’t get the support you need to recover from a bicycle accident when working with an insurance company. If so, don’t give up hope. Indiana’s civil statutes allow you to file a personal injury claim against the party responsible for your crash so long as you can:
- Prove that an offending party owed you a duty of care at the time of your crash
- Prove that your accident stemmed from that party’s negligence
- Prove that said negligence had a negative impact on your financial standing
We use concrete evidence to make a case in your name. Once we better understand the narrative behind your accident, we can negotiate for the settlement you deserve in or out of civil court.
Vaughan & Vaughan offers these services on contingency to the benefit of all Hoosiers. Our contingency fee agreements ensure that you don’t have to pay a deposit to get the representation you need. In fact, our team only gets paid when we win your case.

When to Contact a Jasper Bicycle Accident Lawyer
So, there are multiple ways to financially recover from a bicycle accident, both of which get easier to take advantage of when you have an attorney on your side. When should you reach out to a Jasper bicycle accident attorney, though? We recommend that you get in touch sooner rather than later.
You’re working against Indiana’s personal injury statute of limitations from the moment you get into an accident. That statute allows you to take no more than two years to build and submit a bicycle accident claim. If you can’t file a claim within that time frame, you may waive your right to take civil action against the person responsible for your crash.
What’s more, insurance claims adjusters won’t wait to come to the scene of your crash. Many will try to pressure you into accepting an insufficient settlement. Others may try to make you give them a recorded or written accident statement that they can go on to use against you. The sooner we take on your case, the sooner we can protect you from this bad-faith behavior.

What Compensation to Ask for When Filing a Bicycle Accident Claim
Should you file an insurance claim after a bicycle accident, you have the right to recover damages based on your economic losses. These most often include property damage, medical expenses, and lost wages.
Filing a personal injury claim allows you to recover support based on your economic and non-economic losses. Your bicycle accident’s non-economic losses may include your pain and suffering, stress, and/or reduced quality of life. Our Jasper bicycle accident attorneys can assign dollar values to those losses on your behalf.
