Bicycle Accident Attorneys at Ironclad Injury Law

Cycling is more than just a mode of transportation; it's a lifestyle, a passion, and for many, a daily necessity. However, when sharing the road with motor vehicles, cyclists are at significant risk of severe injuries. If you or a loved one has been involved in a bicycle accident, you need an experienced and dedicated legal team on your side. At Ironclad Injury Law, we specialize in representing bicycle accident victims, ensuring they receive the full compensation they deserve. With offices in Omaha, Des Moines, Kansas City, St. Louis, and Boca Raton, our attorneys are ready to fight for your rights, no matter where you're located.

Why You Need a Bicycle Accident Attorney

Bicycle accidents can lead to devastating injuries, including broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and more. Unlike car drivers, cyclists have little protection in the event of a collision, making the consequences often more severe. If you've been injured in a bicycle accident, it's essential to have a knowledgeable and experienced bicycle accident attorney who understands the complexities of these cases.

Bicycle accidents often involve multiple factors, including road conditions, driver negligence, and even defective bicycle equipment. Navigating these complexities requires a skilled attorney who can investigate all aspects of the accident and hold the responsible parties accountable. At Ironclad Injury Law, our bicycle accident attorneys are well-versed in handling these challenging cases. We know what it takes to build a strong case and are committed to helping you recover the compensation you need to move forward.

The Challenges of Bicycle Accident Cases

Bicycle accident cases are inherently complex due to several unique challenges:

1. Determining Liability

In many bicycle accident cases, liability is not always clear-cut. The accident may involve a negligent driver, poor road maintenance, or even a defective bicycle component. Our attorneys conduct thorough investigations to identify all responsible parties and build a compelling case on your behalf.

2. Insurance Company Tactics

Insurance companies often try to minimize their financial liability by offering lowball settlements or disputing the severity of your injuries. As a former insurance defense attorney, Stephen Murray, Esq., the Owner and Lead Counsel at Ironclad Injury Law, knows how insurance companies operate. He understands their strategies and is well-equipped to negotiate on your behalf, ensuring you receive fair compensation for your injuries.

3. Proving Non-Economic Damages

One of the most challenging aspects of any personal injury case is proving non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. At Ironclad Injury Law, we leverage advanced technology and cutting-edge legal strategies to substantiate these damages. We focus on building a comprehensive case that reflects the true impact of the accident on your life, ensuring that you are fully compensated for all your losses.

Types of Bicycle Accidents We Handle

Our experienced bicycle accident attorneys at Ironclad Injury Law handle a wide range of cases, including:

• Car and Bicycle Collisions: These accidents often occur when a driver fails to yield the right of way, turns into a cyclist's path, or fails to see the cyclist altogether.
• Hit and Run Accidents: When a driver flees the scene after hitting a cyclist, the victim may face significant challenges in recovering compensation. Our attorneys work tirelessly to identify the responsible party and hold them accountable.
• Dooring Accidents: These occur when a driver or passenger opens a car door into the path of an oncoming cyclist, often leading to severe injuries.
• Intersection Accidents: Intersections are common sites for bicycle accidents, especially when drivers fail to yield to cyclists or run red lights.
• Bicycle Defect Cases: Sometimes, a defective bicycle component, such as brakes or tires, can lead to a serious accident. In these cases, we pursue claims against the manufacturer or retailer responsible for the defect.
• Road Hazard Accidents: Poorly maintained roads, debris, and other hazards can cause a cyclist to lose control and crash. We work to hold the responsible municipal or private entities accountable for these dangerous conditions.

What to Do After a Bicycle Accident

If you are involved in a bicycle accident, the steps you take immediately afterward can significantly impact your ability to recover compensation. Here’s what you should do:

1. Seek Medical Attention: Your health and safety are the top priority. Even if you feel fine, it’s essential to get checked out by a medical professional, as some injuries may not be immediately apparent.
2. Document the Scene: If possible, take photos of the accident scene, including the vehicles involved, any visible injuries, road conditions, and any relevant signs or signals.
3. Gather Information: Collect the contact information of the driver, any witnesses, and the responding police officers. Be sure to note the driver’s license plate number and insurance details.
4. Report the Accident: File a police report and notify your insurance company about the accident, but be cautious about providing too much information until you’ve spoken with an attorney.
5. Contact a Bicycle Accident Attorney: Bicycle accident cases are complex, and it’s crucial to have an experienced attorney on your side from the start. Contact Ironclad Injury Law at (402) 541-5867 or email us at info@ironcladinjurylaw.com for a free consultation.

• Medical Expenses: Coverage for surgeries, hospital stays, medications, physical therapy, and any future medical needs related to the accident.
• Lost Wages and Future Earnings: Compensation for the income you’ve lost due to your injuries, as well as any impact on your future earning capacity.
