At Siskind Law, we take immediate action as bicycle accident lawyers to make sure your medical bills are paid with available insurance benefits and that you receive payment for any lost income.
You can also receive compensation for any articles of personal gear you are forced to replace due to the crash by submitting photos and receipts. If you were wearing a helmet, you should replace it with an equivalent model if it struck or skidded on any surface at all. Similarly, compensation can be recovered for torn or muddied clothing, broken bicycle accessories, or gear that was lost by being thrown clear from the bicycle in the accident.
There can be situations in which a negligent driver leaves the scene of an accident, does not have a valid policy in effect or does not maintain sufficient liability coverage. In this situation, we explore all possible avenues to obtain additional coverage to ensure our clients receive the maximum compensation they deserve.
