Neenah, Appleton Lawyers: Bicycle Accident Injury Claims
When the drunk driver hit our client, she slid off her bicycle and across the windshield — he just kept driving. The driver at a stoplight will often look to the left to check for cars — then turn right and hit the pedestrian on the crosswalk. A driver talking on the cell phone may never even notice the bicycle or pedestrian on the shoulder of the road. If a member of your family was injured in a bicycle accident or pedestrian accident, it may seem obvious that the driver of the automobile was at fault. Yet, without the advice and representation of an experienced lawyer, you may never recover the damages you deserve.
Talk to a lawyer before talking to the insurance company
It is extremely important to talk to a lawyer before discussing your case with an insurance company representative, in order to preserve your right to full compensation. It costs nothing — call (toll-free: 866-745-1152) or e-mail our Neenah law firm, Hammett Bellin & Oswald LLC, to arrange a confidential, free consultation about your claim. You will talk with an attorney, not a paralegal or legal assistant.
The insurance company has a network of lawyers with a single goal — minimizing the payment of benefits. There are municipal, county and state regulations that govern the rights of bicycle riders and pedestrians, rules that few people are aware of. It is not unusual for the insurance company to refuse to pay an injury claim following a bike crash or pedestrian accident, basing that refusal on where the injured person was standing or traveling when struck by a car or claiming that the victim was crossing against a light. Let your attorney speak for you while you and your family focus on recovering from your loss. The cost of treating a bicycle head injury or other catastrophic injury resulting from a traffic accident may require more benefits than any single policy provides. Our attorneys will work to identify and coordinate all sources of compensation to see that you receive maximum benefit from available resources.
