Thank you for your efforts and hard work in resolving my case. Your leadership and initiatives were outstanding. I felt truly represented, respected and was treated with honesty and integrity. We are grateful for a positive result and grateful for the excellent teamwork!” - L.D., Portland.While bicycling is an enjoyable and healthy activity, bike accidents can lead to catastrophic injuries, including injuries to the brain and spinal cord injuries.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than half a million people are treated U.S. Emergency Rooms each year for injuries related to bicycle accidents. More than half of those are injured children. Tragically, approximately 700 people die in the U.S. each year as a result of injuries caused by bike accidents. We hear the stories every day: A distracted driver pulls out of his driveway directly into the path of a bicycle rider, too late for the rider to stop. A poorly maintained sidewalk sends a rider crashing over her handlebars. A drunk driver misjudges distance or speed and plows into a bike rider.
When people are injured in bike accidents that were caused at least in part by someone else's negligence, or by the use of a defective product (such as defectively manufactured or designed bicycles or helmets), they can seek compensation for their medical bills, their pain and suffering, any lost wages, related property damage, and more. Relatives of people who are killed in bike accidents may also be able to get compensation, by pursuing a wrongful death claim.
