Bicycle Accident Lawyer New Haven, CT
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over 130,000 cyclists are injured in traffic accidents each year—and that’s just in the United States alone. The financial consequences of these accidents exceed $23 billion, whether it’s related to medical procedures, rehabilitation costs, or income that was lost as a direct result of the injuries sustained in the crash.
Bicyclists are especially vulnerable on the road, and even a low-speed impact can result in serious injuries like broken bones, head trauma, or spinal damage. When a driver fails to yield, opens a car door into a cyclist’s path, or drives while distracted, it can result in severe injuries, long-term recovery times, and even permanent disabilities. Our New Haven bicycle accident attorneys will review your case to determine what exactly caused the accident and what damages are owed to you.
But these accidents don’t just happen because of reckless driving—though many of them do. Poor road conditions, faulty traffic lights, missing road signs, and poorly constructed intersections all may play a part in an accident involving a cyclist. Our bicycle collision lawyers will investigate the scene, gather evidence such as police reports and witness statements, and work with medical professionals to understand the full extent of your injuries. Our goal is to build a strong case that accurately reflects the damages you’ve suffered—including medical bills, lost wages, long-term care needs, and emotional distress. We’ll work with you to obtain compensation to cover these damages, whether it’s physical, financial, or emotional.
Our bike accident lawyers are highly skilled at negotiating with insurance companies, and we’re familiar with the tactics they use to try to minimize or deny payouts. We’ll handle communicating with insurance providers, push back against unfair settlements, and, if necessary, take your case to court. No matter if you were hit by a distracted driver, injured due to a poorly maintained bike lane, or harmed in a hit-and-run, we will advocate for your right to fair compensation.
