Why Bicycle Accident Victims Need Legal Representation
Bicycle accident cases involve distinct challenges that require specialized knowledge and strategic advocacy.
- Driver bias against cyclists often complicates liability determination despite clear evidence
- Limited or no vehicle insurance coverage for cyclists necessitates identifying all potential sources of compensation
- Catastrophic injuries including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and orthopedic trauma require comprehensive medical documentation
- Bicycle-specific traffic laws and regulations create unique legal considerations
- Municipalities may share liability for dangerous road conditions or inadequate bike infrastructure
- "Dooring" accidents, right-hook collisions, and intersection crashes require specialized investigation
- Permanent disabilities require detailed life care planning and future needs assessment
- Helmet use (or lack thereof) may be used by insurers to argue contributory negligence
These factors create significant obstacles for injured cyclists seeking fair compensation. Our attorneys understand these challenges and have developed effective strategies to overcome them. Contact our office to discuss your case with a lawyer experienced in bicycle accident claims.

What should I do immediately after a bicycle accident?
After a bicycle accident, your safety comes first. Move to a safe location if possible and seek medical attention, even if injuries seem minor. Document the scene by taking photos and collecting contact information from witnesses. Report the accident to the police and obtain a copy of the report. Before speaking with insurance companies, contact Howard, Fine, & Howard to protect your legal rights and ensure you don't make statements that could compromise your claim.
How long do I have to file a bicycle accident claim?
The statute of limitations for bicycle accident claims varies by state, typically ranging from 1-3 years from the date of the accident. However, we recommend contacting Howard, Fine, & Howard as soon as possible after your accident. Early legal intervention allows us to preserve critical evidence, interview witnesses while memories are fresh, and ensure all filing deadlines are met. Waiting too long could permanently bar you from receiving compensation.
What compensation can I recover in a bicycle accident case?
Bicycle accident victims may be entitled to various forms of compensation, including medical expenses (both current and future), lost wages, diminished earning capacity, property damage, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. In cases involving particularly reckless behavior, punitive damages might also be available. At Howard, Fine, & Howard, we thoroughly evaluate all aspects of your case to pursue maximum compensation for your injuries and losses.
What if I was partially at fault for my bicycle accident?
Even if you were partially responsible for the accident, you may still be entitled to compensation. Many states follow comparative negligence rules, which reduce your recovery by your percentage of fault rather than barring recovery entirely. Our experienced attorneys at Howard, Fine, & Howard will investigate all aspects of your accident to minimize any finding of fault on your part and maximize your potential recovery.
How much does it cost to hire Howard, Fine & Howard for my bicycle accident case?
We handle bicycle accident cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no upfront costs or hourly fees. Our firm only gets paid if we secure compensation for you, typically taking a percentage of the final settlement or verdict. During your free initial consultation, we'll explain our fee structure in detail and answer any questions you may have about the financial aspects of your case.
