Bicycle Accident Lawyer Towson, MD

Legal Advocacy You Need From An Experienced Towson, MD Bicycle Accident Lawyer

Cyclists in Maryland have the same rights and privileges to use most of the roads in the state (except highways and interstates), but just because you are permitted to ride on the road doesn’t mean that all drivers will take the proper precautions for your safety. Most bicycle accidents are the result of driver negligence. Someone who is speeding or otherwise not following traffic laws may not see a cyclist or have enough time to slow down or move to avoid hitting them. Or, a distracted driver looking at their phone may not see a small figure on a bike until it’s too late. Many cyclists suffer debilitating injuries and need costly medical care to recuperate. Our Towson, MD bicycle accident lawyer can help you get the compensation you deserve.

How Our Firm Can Help You After  Bike Crash

As professional personal injury attorneys, we have a thorough knowledge of the relevant Maryland laws protecting your right to compensation if you were harmed because of someone else’s negligence. We have extensive resources to help us build our case. We start by investigating the cause of the bike crash, which often reveals the at-fault party. While many bicycle accident injuries are because of driver negligence, others may be due to negligence on the part of the city or country responsible for maintaining the roads. Potholes and damaged pavement that would not faze a car could easily cause cyclists to crash.

Once we identify the liable party, we gather evidence to prove their negligence, such as cell phone records (proving they were illegally using their phone at the time of the crash), witness statements, and photos or videos (like dashcam footage) of the crash. We use this evidence in our case-building and demand that the at-fault party pays full compensation for your losses.

Our attorneys handle all the legal aspects of your case, from communicating with the other party to filing the case and negotiating with the insurance company.

Compensation Available To You After A Bicycle Accident 

Plaintiffs in cyclist accident claims have the right to the full value of their out-of-pocket expenses, including medical bills, lost wages from time missed at work, and any modifications to their home or vehicle they may need because of the crash. You can also claim compensation for property damage (like replacing your bike and helmet).

You’re also entitled to non-economic damages, which include pain and suffering, emotional trauma, scarring and disability, and diminished quality of life. Our firm uses vocational and economic experts to help us properly value the extent of these losses, so we ask for a fair amount.
