Bicycle Accident Attorney In St. Louis, MO

Top Bicycle Accident Attorneys In St Louis

All too often, car and truck drivers lose sight of the fact that they share the St. Louis roadways with bicyclists. When drivers are careless or reckless, they can cause injury—or worse—to bike riders. Wolff & Wolff Trial Lawyers has a long record of helping accident victims achieve the fair compensation they deserve. If you’ve been injured in a bicycling accident through no fault of your own, you have every right to seek justice. Wolff & Wolff Trial Lawyers is based in St. Louis but serves clients throughout the region. Although winning a large settlement can’t undo the damage that bicycle accidents often cause, it can alleviate the terrible financial burden that victims often face while attempting to recover.

Bicycle Laws in Missouri

Operators of motor vehicles are legally obligated to obey the rules of the road. Unfortunately, drivers make errors. Sometimes they veer into bicycle lanes. Sometimes they fail to stop quickly enough to avoid rear-ending a bicyclist. Because bicycles offer little protection for riders, injuries can be devastating when car and truck drivers make careless mistakes. The state’s personal injury laws allow accident victims the right to seek compensation for damages if the other party was careless or reckless. Wolff & Wolff Trial Lawyers has helped thousands of clients achieve their legal goals and obtain the compensation they deserve for their pain and suffering.

In the St. Louis area, car and truck drivers have caused bodily injury to bicyclists for reasons such as:

  • Speeding
  • Failing to notice bicyclist on the road
  • Driving while drowsy
  • Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Failing to obey traffic lights
  • Distracted driving (i.e. talking on cellphone)
  • Aggressive driving

If you or someone you love has been hurt in a bicycle accident, you may be entitled to fair compensation. Even though these personal injury cases can be complex, Wolff & Wolff Trial Lawyers have the experience and expertise needed to help guide clients throughout the legal process. More than half of the bicycle accidents in the state are attributed to the fault of the driver. Even if you aren’t sure you have a claim, let our attorneys help you determine its merits.

Victims of bicycle accidents in Missouri have suffered catastrophic injuries. Some victims require years to recover. Others are left with life-long disabilities. Bicycle accident claims in the state have often included such injuries as:

  • Fractures

  • Spinal Injury

What Type of Compensation of Bicycle Accident Victims Entitled to?

In Missouri, victims of bicycle injuries have the right to seek compensation for damaged property, medical costs related to their injuries, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

What Should You Do If You Are Involved in a Bicycle Accident?

If you’ve been injured in a bicycle accident, it’s vital to get medical attention. Sometimes the need for emergency medical care is obvious; however, sometimes victims make the mistake of thinking they’re ok because they can walk away from the accident. Even if you think you are not seriously injured, you should get a professional medical evaluation. Many accident injuries may not be initially apparent. Concussion and internal bleeding, for example, may not produce noticeable symptoms for a day or two.

A medical assessment can safeguard your health but it also provides you with documentary medical evidence of your injuries. If you choose to make a legal claim, you will need to have this type of evidence.

It’s also important to call the police to document the incident with a formal police report. Officers will arrive to the scene where they can investigate the cause of the accident and possibly even issue citations to the at-fault party. This report and any issued citations also constitute important evidence that can support a claim.

Don’t Talk to Insurers!

It’s common practice for insurance companies to get in touch with accident victims. They may hope to avoid a trial by offering an initial settlement. But did you know that saying the wrong thing to an insurance representative can actually harm your case? Plus, you might be entitled to far more than the insurance company is offering. Let Wolff & Wolff Trial Lawyers evaluate your case so you understand what you may be owed as a result of your injuries. We have years of experience dealing with insurance providers and their attorneys. They always put their own best interests first; let us prioritize your interests and fight for what you deserve.
