Defending Bicycle Accident Victims
A bicyclist holds similar rights on the roadway as the drivers of other vehicles do. However, a driver who hits you negligently shows a clear lack of respect toward those rights.. What can you do if the insurance company sides with them to protect their financial interests? What’s next?
After an accident, our personal injury attorneys are ready to support you with the aggressive representation you need. We have experience with the relevant laws to establish your right to the road and your right to a settlement.
