Massey Law Group fights for the injured. If you were hurt in a bicycle crash, our personal injury attorneys can seek the compensation you need to heal.
Our Birmingham bicycle accident lawyer can prove that a negligent driver or other at-fault party is responsible for your damages. We’ll support you throughout your case and aggressively pursue the maximum settlement or verdict possible.
Alabama Code § 32-5A-260 grants bike riders the same rights and privileges as vehicle drivers. When sharing the roadway, drivers must treat bicycles as they would other cars, meaning they must watch for bikes and yield the right-of-way when necessary. They must also avoid tailgating cyclists or passing them too closely.
When motorists don’t safely interact with bicycles or break other traffic laws, such as drinking and driving, speeding, or running a red light, they can be held legally liable for causing a crash. Sometimes, there can be other at-fault parties, including other cyclists and negligent pedestrians.
Our Birmingham attorneys can review your bicycle accident case and identify who is responsible for your injuries. We can build a solid claim showing that someone else was negligent and should compensate you for your losses.
Seeking bicycle accident compensation usually begins with an insurance claim against the driver who hit you.
To prepare your case, our bike accident lawyers in Birmingham will conduct an investigation. We gather evidence, such as police reports, witness statements, and surveillance video, and use it to prove to the insurance company that they should pay your claim. We also identify and calculate all of your losses and use this figure to demand fair compensation.
Our team will communicate with the insurers on your behalf and aggressively fight for a full and fair settlement. Throughout this process, our attorneys will ensure you are constantly updated. We want you to know that we’ll not accept less than you deserve, and we don’t want you wondering about the status of your case.
If necessary, we can file a personal injury lawsuit to recover your damages. We must do so within the statute of limitations, or you will likely lose your right to take legal action. According to Ala. Code § 6-2-38, you typically have two years for most bike accident cases.
We know how quickly a bicycle accident injury can lead to expensive medical bills, time off work, and other financial stressors. We want to help you get the money you need to care for yourself and your family.
Our Birmingham bike collision lawyers can help you seek compensation for medical care, including current and future bills. We can also pursue your lost wages and lost earning capacity.
A severe injury can affect your overall quality of life. We can seek pain and suffering damages for chronic and disabling conditions, scarring, disfigurement, stress, depression, and anxiety.
If your loved one was fatally injured, we can help your family seek resources to support you through your grief with a wrongful death claim.
At Massey Law Group, we pride ourselves on being tireless advocates for injury victims. If you were hurt by a negligent driver or other liable party, our Birmingham bicycle accident lawyer can shoulder your legal burden and get justice for you.
