Can You Get Compensation After a Bike Accident?

You may legally qualify for compensation after a bicycle crash caused by someone else’s dangerous or negligent behavior. For example, you may receive damages if a motorist refuses to share the road and strikes you at an intersection.  An attorney can investigate the facts around your collision to find the liable party. Our team gets to work fast to collect evidence before it disappears.  You can increase your chances of securing fair damages by taking a few steps immediately after a crash. Ensure you notify the police and get pictures of your injuries, the damage to your bike, and the accident scene. You should also seek medical treatment for your injuries. 

What Funds do You Get for a Bicycle Crash?

A Michigan City bicycle accident lawyer can help you secure funds to cover all the financial losses caused by a collision. We often focus on medical bills, as these collisions can easily result in broken bones, traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), and spinal cord injuries (SCIs).  Your law firm may help you secure damages for:
  • Emergency medical care
  • Transport to a medical facility
  • Time spent in a hospital
  • Medical assessments and procedures
  • Medications and physical therapy
We may also bring you funds to cover your lost pay and any property damage caused by the collision. In some situations, we can secure compensation for your emotional pain and suffering, factoring these non-economic losses into your claim. 

How Much Compensation do You Get After a Bike Accident?

The funds available after a bike crash can vary significantly. Often, the compensation you receive depends on the severity of your injuries. A lawyer can review all your losses and collect documentation to present to the insurance company on your behalf. 

How does a Michigan City Bicycle Accident Lawyer Help?

A bike accident attorney can handle all aspects of your legal case, giving you time to focus on recovering from your injuries and reducing your overall stress. Our team can:

Identify the Liable Party

We focus on finding the individual responsible for causing your accident so we can pursue them for maximum compensation. In many cases, we pursue the driver of the vehicle who struck you. 

Collect Evidence

We build claims for our clients backed by hard evidence. Our team has extensive experience investigating bike crashes by:
  • Visiting the location of the crash
  • Getting statements from all eyewitnesses
  • Securing a copy of the police accident report
  • Looking for videos or photos of the collision
We may even work with bicycle accident experts to strengthen your claim further. 

Resolve Your Case

Finally, our team can focus on resolving your case to bring you fair compensation to cover your losses. We take care of negotiations with the insurance company, often settling bike crash cases out of court.  However, if the insurance company treats you unfairly, we may help you file a lawsuit. 

Can an Attorney Help After a Deadly Bike Crash?

You can count on us to assist you after a fatal bike accident. A Michigan City wrongful death lawyer from our team will treat your family with the compassion and understanding you deserve following a deadly accident.  Your family may receive funds to cover the costs of a loved one’s funeral and medical expenses. Contact us today to discuss your legal options. 

Why Hire Us Following a Bicycle Collision in Michigan City?

When you work with us, you secure professional legal assistance from a firm with over 110 years of experience. We believe in putting our clients first and have the legal knowledge to take on complicated claims confidently.  Our team at Vaughan & Vaughan also has a reputation for bringing clients fair compensation. We’ve secured over $25 million in damages and welcome you to review specific examples of our work through our case results.  Additionally, we take on bike accident cases on a contingency basis, so you’ll only have to pay us for legal fees after we bring you compensation to cover your losses. 

How Long does it Take to Resolve a Bike Accident Claim?

The time it takes to secure compensation after a bicycle accident can vary. Generally, settlement negotiations with the insurance company will take at least a few months. Lawsuits may take much longer to resolve. 

Is There a Deadline on Your Bike Accident Case?

Indiana restricts the amount of time you have to file a claim for compensation after an accident. Generally, the personal injury statute of limitations gives you two years to move forward with your case.  Your attorney can review your situation and provide exact details on your deadline. We’ll expedite your case and keep the legal process moving to bring you compensation in a timely fashion.

I have been involved in a couple accidents that havent been my fault. My other attorney was horrible...he never called back, never explained anything. If you asked questions, he would make me feel as if I were incompetent. Elizabeth is amazing! She goes above and beyond to make sure to answer any questions and to follow up on everything! Elizabeth always calls or emails back typically the same day. More times than not, she will get back in just an hour or less of leaving a message. I know I'm not their only client, but the way I am treated, makes me feel as if I am. I knew my previous attorney was horrible by the end of it all, but didnt realize just how horrible until I hired Vaughan and Vaughan.

I was involved in my first serious car accident and didn't know what to do. The other party had admitted fault and their insurance company wanted to offer me a very low dollar amount to settle. When I sensed that something was amiss, I immediately called Mr. Vaughn at Vaughn & Vaughn Law Firm. He and his staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. They took me through the process step-by-step and made sure that I was comfortable and informed with all decisions made. Mr. Vaughn was not only able to address my medical, property, and personal expenses, he also considered the physical long-term effects of my health as a result of this accident. I was able to settle for a much higher dollar amount that they initially offered. I would highly recommend his services to anyone. If he cannot help you, he will refer you to someone who can. As his firm truly believes, once you hire the firm of Vaughn & Vaughn, you are a part of the family.
