How Do I Know if My Injuries Are Considered Serious?
Many bicycle injuries can worsen with time, so it’s hard to say right after the accident. For example, some brain injuries don’t show symptoms for hours or days after a mishap. In these cases, contact our injury attorneys to discuss your condition. We’ll assess your situation and let you know how to proceed.
If your medical and lost wage payments exceed New York’s “serious injury” threshold, which is usually $50,000 or more, you may also be able to collect money for pain and suffering.
Do I Need an Attorney to Handle My Claim?
If you were hit by a vehicle, the driver’s insurance should pay your medical bills. However, most insurance companies want to pay you off with some small, inconsequential sum of money before you talk to an attorney. If you want to fight for what you're rightfully owed, hiring an attorney is necessary.
Field Law Group, P.C. has recovered tens of millions of dollars for our clients. With decades of experience, we only take personal injury cases we believe in and will ensure you get everything you’re entitled to.
How Much Is My Bicycle Accident Case Worth?
There’s no exact answer to this, as it depends on your case. Generally, insurance companies look at the extent and severity of your injuries when deciding how much they’re willing to pay. As you’d expect, more critical injuries usually result in higher settlements.
Either way, we can evaluate your claim and help you understand the level of compensation available in your case.
How Can I Get My Bike Fixed?
You’ll need to file a third-party claim with the driver’s insurer. Third-party claims, however, can take a long time to resolve, and most insurance companies will try to twist your words. That’s why it’s best to have an experienced attorney negotiate for you.
