Bicycle Accident Lawyers in Dayton, OH Accident Claims Handled with Care

Whether you bike to commute, exercise, or just for fun, many Ohio cities have become increasingly bike-friendly. However, roadway improvements do not necessarily mean that motorists have experienced an increased awareness of bicyclists. In even a low-speed collision with a car, truck, or other vehicle, bicyclists can suffer serious injuries in bicycle accidents, so motorists need to be abundantly careful whenever a bicyclist is near.

Our attorneys at The Attkisson Law Firm have decades of combined experience in fighting for the rights of injured bicyclists around the city of Dayton, Ohio. When we accept a bicycle accident claim, we know we need to be at the top of our crafts to secure the maximum amount of damages possible for our client. Oftentimes, medical costs and lost wages can put an injured bicyclist in a dire financial situation, and it is up to us to help them out of it through honest and dedicated legal representation.

To speak with our Dayton bicycle accident lawyers about your claim, dial (937) 276-9700 for a free consultation. We take calls around-the-clock.

How Do Bicycle Accidents Happen?

There are many ways a bicycle accident can happen, but most of them are due to the negligence or carelessness of motorists. Here are some examples of how our clients have been injured in recent years:

  • A car drifts into the bike lane while making a turn and collides with the bicyclist
  • A motorist opens their door onto oncoming bicyclists, causing them to swerve into traffic
  • A distracted driver runs a stop sign and T-bones a bicyclist crossing the intersection
  • A drowsy truck driver veers into a bike lane and strikes a bicyclist

Oftentimes, the at-fault driver will claim that the bicyclist caused the accident. They may say that the bicyclist swerved into their lane or ran a stop sign. In other words, they will try to blame the victim. That is why it is important to have an experienced Dayton bicycle accident lawyer on your side who knows how to investigate claims, gather evidence, and fight back against these false accusations.

In most cases, the at-fault driver will be held liable for the injuries sustained in a bicycle accident. However, there are other parties who may also be held liable in some cases. For example, if a defective bicycle component caused the accident, the manufacturer of that component may be held liable. Additionally, if the roadway was poorly designed or maintained and it contributed to the accident, the governmental agency responsible for the road may be held liable.

How Do Bicycle Accident Lawyers Hold Negligent Parties Accountable?

Serious accidents can occur on both protected bike lanes and regular roads. Common causes of bike accidents include impaired or distracted drivers, getting doored by someone exiting a vehicle, failure to yield at a crosswalk or intersection, hazardous roadways, and more.

Injuries from such accidents can include broken bones, internal bleeding, and serious injuries to the head, neck, and spinal cord. We will identify the negligent parties responsible for the crash. While the driver of the other vehicle may appear to be at fault, other parties such as city or state governments could also be liable when road design or poorly maintained roadways contributed to the crash.

Do Attorneys Fight for the Maximum Amount of Damages Available?

After a serious injury, you need skilled, aggressive legal representation. We take the time needed to fully assess your claim, giving us the optimal angle of approach. Each step we take is done in pursuit of your best interests.

When working on a bicycle accident claim, we can:

  • File an insurance claim on your behalf
  • Investigate the cause of the accident
  • Identify negligent or reckless behavior in other parties
  • Properly assess fault and liability
  • Fight for the full amount of compensation you deserve

Damages can provide necessary financial compensation for medical expenses, property damages, potentially lost wages, and pain and suffering. Unfortunately, the insurance company is not always willing to pay accident victims the amount they deserve. With a long track record of obtaining substantial settlements and verdicts, we will leverage our experience and reputation as aggressive litigators to pursue what you are due. Our attorneys are committed to your well-being and will not back down.
