Skilled and Effective Legal Representation for Bike Accident Victims

Bikes and pedestrian accidents involving vehicles often result in serious injuries, and sometimes death. Aside from bike helmets – which are designed to withstand only limited impacts – bicycle riders are largely exposed and at the mercy of their motored counterparts. Although bicyclists have many of the same rights as drivers, drivers frequently fail to afford bikes the appropriate distance and respect their rights of way.

When a driver’s negligence results in a bike accident, the consequences can be devastating. The attorneys at the bicycle accident law firm of Scherr & Scherr, LLP in Milwaukee have helped numerous riders and their families obtain compensation for:

• Spinal injuries
• Brain injuries
• Broken bones
• Permanent disabilities
• Other catastrophic injuries
• Wrongful death

Dealing with Insurance Companies in Bike Accident Claims

With bicycle accidents, like other vehicle collision cases, it is not unusual for insurance companies to attempt to tie you down with statements that limit your ability to recover for your injuries or your loved one’s passing. The driver’s insurance company will often contact you early in the process with lots of questions about the accident. While some of these questions may seem fairly innocuous, you need to be very careful about what you say. Casual wording that can be misinterpreted or taken out of context can make it much more complicated and time consuming to obtain full compensation. As a result, we strongly believe that it is in your best interests to hire a competent accident lawyer as soon as possible following the accident. Read more about bad faith insurance practices.
