Should You Hire a Lawyer After a Bicycle Crash?

Hiring our attorneys after a bike crash can improve your chances of securing fair compensation for your losses, help you regain your peace of mind, and ensure you have a professional in your corner throughout the legal process. The party responsible for your accident may try to deny accountability or even blame you for the crash. Hiring an attorney means you’ll have someone standing by to investigate, collect evidence, and push back on your behalf.  Our team is standing by to take charge and establish liability. We can look into the causes of your collision and determine if another party owed you a duty of care, violated that duty, and directly caused your crash. Find out more with a risk-free consultation. 

Will Someone Cover Your Medical Bills After a Bike Accident?

The individual responsible for your bicycle crash may have to cover any medical bills resulting from the collision. These accidents often result in broken bones, spinal cord injuries (SCIs), paralysis, concussions, and amputations. We can find the liable party and hold them accountable for the costs of your:
  • Emergency room treatment
  • Time spent in the hospital 
  • Medical tests (including X-rays and MRIs) 
  • All required medical procedures
  • Physical therapy, medications, and rehabilitation 
You may also qualify for funds to cover any assistive devices you need in your daily life after a bike crash. For example, the responsible party may need to cover the cost of purchasing a wheelchair. 

Can You Get Other Compensation for a Bike Crash?

A Valparaiso bicycle accident lawyer may help you secure additional compensation after your accident. In many situations, we can bring our clients funds to cover their:
  • Lost earning potential and lost wages
  • Bicycle repair costs 
  • Pain, mental anguish, and emotional suffering
We assess all of your losses and factor them into your claim, pushing to secure fair payment so you can move forward with your life after an accidental injury. 

How Does a Valparaiso Bicycle Accident Lawyer Find the Liable Party?

Our team uses investigative strategies to find the party that caused your bicycle accident. Depending on your circumstances, we may: 
  • Visit the scene of your bike accident
  • Interview all witnesses so we can get official statements
  • Acquire a copy of the police accident report 
  • Look for photos or videos that show the collision
  • Work with bicycle accident experts 
We can investigate if a driver failed to stop at a red light and hit you as you biked across a street, turned into your path of travel, or opened a door into your path. We’re ready to assess your unique situation today. 

Can a Lawyer Help After a Fatal Bicycle Collision? 

Your family can get professional help from a Valparaiso wrongful death lawyer after a deadly collision. We’ll compassionately listen to your concerns and assess your situation, helping you build a claim that can address your family’s financial burdens.  We believe that you deserve respectful care after a deadly accident. You can rely on us to handle all legal matters associated with a wrongful death claim so you can focus on caring for the emotional needs of your family.  Filing a wrongful death claim may bring your family a sense of closure and help you get the funds you need to move forward. These claims also hold the individual responsible for the loss of your loved one accountable for their actions. 

Why Pick Us for a Bicycle Accident Claim in Valparaiso?

Our team at Vaughan & Vaughan believes in putting clients first and assisting with all your legal needs after a collision. We’ve been handling personal injury cases in Indiana for over 110 years, giving us extensive experience to draw on when addressing your legal concerns.  We have a proven track record of successfully resolving claims, bringing clients over $25 million in compensation for their losses.  We’ll take on your case using a contingency fee system. Therefore, you won’t have to worry about paying us for legal fees until we resolve your claim and bring you compensation. 

What’s the Deadline to File a Bike Accident Claim?

You have to move forward with your personal injury claim before Indiana’s statute of limitations expires. This deadline typically gives you two years to file a claim for compensation after a bicycle collision. We know how quickly time can fly by when you’re recovering from an injury and trying to address other concerns in your life. Fortunately, you can hire an attorney to monitor all legal deadlines and keep your claim moving.  We can begin handling legal communications and dealing with insurance companies immediately after a collision, so reach out now.

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.
