More than 500,000 cyclists are checked into the hospital every year. While some of these victims have injured themselves, many would not have been injured were it not for the recklessness and negligence of other people. When a careless driver has injured you or your loved one, you have the right to seek compensation. Please call a top Allentown accident attorney from the Law Offices of Clyde Bartel as soon as possible.
Cyclists who are hit by cars can suffer from all number of maladies, including broken bones, lost limbs, road rash, spinal injuries, brain trauma, paralysis, coma, nerve damage and death. These injuries are all very serious and the medical expenses related to their treatments can add up quickly. Even when a victim has insurance, the bills can still quickly reach thousands of dollars. Fortunately, an Allentown accident lawyer can help you and your family get back on your feet after a serious accident of this nature.
Almost all accidents involving cars and bicycles are caused by the vehicle’s driver. The most common accidents of these types include drivers illegally entering the bike lane, drivers turning without looking, drivers and passengers opening car doors without checking for oncoming cyclists and drunk driving. If you or a loved one has been injured by any of these accidents or a similar incident, please call an Allentown accident attorney.
Even if the driver’s insurance company seems to be helpful in compensating you for your injuries, it is still advisable to speak with an Allentown accident lawyer before agreeing to anything. Many insurance companies will rely on the lack of experience of most accident victims and offer far less compensation than they should be expected to pay. If you have been injured in an accident like this, you should be compensated for your current and future medical expenses, disfigurement, lost wages, pain and suffering. A qualified legal representative can help ensure you receive everything that you are entitled to.
