Bicycle Accident Injury Lawyer

Protecting Your Rights After a Bicycle Accident

Bicycle Accidents can lead to devastating injuries. If you were injured on a bicycle by someone else’s negligence, you are most likely entitled to more compensation than you’re being offered. As a cyclist, you are not as protected as someone in a vehicle, meaning you could be experiencing more serious injuries that could lead to long term, or even permanent, symptoms. Our team of experienced personal injury lawyers will work diligently to ensure you get the compensation you deserve with the ability to move forward with your recovery and life after an accident.

Determining the level of fault in an accident, who had the right of way, and other important elements to your case are imperative, and with an accomplished team of lawyers behind you,, you can rest assured that you’ll be able to move forward with your case with more efficiency and less stress.

FAQ

Do I have a personal injury claim after a bicycle accident?

Determining if you have a valid personal injury claim depends on several factors. Here are key considerations to determine if you can pursue compensation: whether or not someone else was negligent, if you suffered injuries or losses, that your case is in the proper legal timeframe, and if you have evidence. Call Braithwaite Boyle today for a FREE consultation to determine if you have a personal injury claim for your bicycle accident.

Typically, you have two years from the date of your bicycle accident to file a personal injury claim in Alberta. There may be some exceptions based on your case, so contact our team today to ensure you are fairly compensated.

If you have a case with your bicycle accident, you can expect compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, emotional distress, property damage, lost wages, any future care costs, and other potential compensation.

Alberta uses a contributory negligence system. This means that even if you are partially at fault you can recover some compensation. However, your compensation will be reduced based on your percentage of fault.

How long your case takes to find a resolution depends on a wide variety of factors. We ask that our clients be patient as many cases can take upwards of four years to be resolved.

While not required, working with a lawyer will significantly improve your chances of receiving more compensation. In addition to this, lawyers will perform all the heavy lifting of your case by investigating the accident, negotiating with insurance companies, and representing you in court if necessary.

Braithwaite Boyle works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay any legal fees unless we win your case. That means you can push money fears aside as there’s no upfront costs or additional financial risks.

If you’ve been in a bicycle accident, it’s important to reach out to a lawyer as soon as possible to assess the strength of your case and explore your options for compensation. Prompt legal guidance ensures we can gather crucial evidence and provide the support you need to protect your rights.
