Steps After a Bicycle Accident

Answer:

Through the years, we’ve represented many bicyclists that were injured by automobiles in Georgia. If you’re reading this, you may have questions or are looking for tips on how to handle a bicycle automobile case. Our first tip is to dial 9-1-1 and get the police to investigate the accident. Two, you should seek medical treatment. Our third tip is do not speak to the insurance adjuster for the motorist who hit you. Those insurance adjusters are trained to get information favorable to the insurance company and not favorable to your case.

Lastly, hire a lawyer that has experience with bicycle motorist cases. That attorney has experience in ordering medical records, investigating the accident, speaking with witnesses, ordering medical bills and presenting the damages that the bicyclist has sustained in a positive professional way to the insurance company. If the insurance company does not act in a reasonable manner in negotiating the case, then our advice is to have the attorney file a lawsuit to get fair and just compensation.
