A driver who never looked is the most common fact in a bicycle collision, and it is also the hardest one to prove weeks later. A bicycle accident attorney works backwards from the scene, because when cyclists and cars share the road the physical evidence is often the only account that does not change.
Drivers frequently fail to check for cyclists, and the crashes that follow leave painful, expensive, life-changing injuries such as:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones
- Lacerations
- Internal injuries
- Scarring and disfigurement
If you have suffered any of these injuries in a bicycle accident, contact The Law Offices of Alejo Lugo & Associates now. We have over 20 years of experience representing injured cyclists, and we can help you obtain the compensation you need and deserve for every way your accident has affected your life.
We Will Work Hard for You
Depending on the circumstances surrounding your bicycle accident, considerable effort may be required to build a strong case for compensation.
First, we have to establish who held legal responsibility for the accident and for your injuries. As part of that effort, we will carefully review the evidence from the scene, including police reports, photographs, witness statements and more. If necessary, we will bring in an accident reconstruction specialist to help us review the physical evidence and use it to produce a visual recreation of the accident showing exactly how you were injured.
It is equally important to establish the existence and the nature of your injuries and other damages. We will make sure you see the best doctors so your injuries can be properly diagnosed and treated. We will also help you document how your injuries and symptoms are affecting your daily life, which helps create evidence supporting a claim for pain and suffering. Drawing on our many years of experience, we will help you quantify your damages and arrive at a fair and reasonable amount accounting for all applicable damages, such as:
- Current medical bills
- Future medical bills
- Lost wages
- Lost earning capacity
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Pain and suffering
Relentless Representation In or Out of Court
In most cases, we can successfully resolve bicycle accident cases in negotiations with the at-fault driver’s insurance company. However, we are not afraid to go to court when it is necessary. You can rely on The Law Offices of Alejo Lugo & Associates for relentless, professional representation wherever your case takes us.
You Can Afford a Bicycle Accident Attorney
If you are facing large medical expenses after a bicycle accident, you may hesitate to add to those expenses by hiring a bicycle accident attorney. The reality is that hiring The Law Offices of Alejo Lugo & Associates will not increase your immediate expenses. It will almost certainly increase the final compensation you receive.
At The Law Offices of Alejo Lugo & Associates, we accept cases on a contingency fee basis, which means we take care of the costs of preparing your case and you will not owe us a cent until after we obtain your compensation. For an initial consultation, call (800) 497-0018 now.
