Insurance Claims Adjusters are highly trained professionals, and they will not hesitate to minimize and/or defeat your claim for damages. Some Claims Adjusters can be characterized by the old adage: Pay little, Pay late, Pay nothing!

Call your attorney immediately to schedule a face to face interview. Retain counsel as soon as possible to launch an investigation of your case. Supply all documents to your counsel that pertain to your accident including photos, police reports, and medical bills. (Do not email documents to your counsel until after they have reviewed your case and signed a Retainer Agreement with you.)

After you have signed a written Retainer with your counsel, let these suggestions also act as a guide for your conduct while this matter is pending. Your lawyer's goal is to obtain a result that is just and fair under the circumstances. Money does not make up for the misery you suffer, but in this life, money is the only thing we can get for you.

Types Of Bicycle Accidents
Bicycle accidents are primarily caused by motorists' negligence. Here are the most common tragedies:

Right hook accidents: Drivers turning right must check blind spots and yield to cyclists traveling straight. Cutting off cyclists can be dangerous and unlawful.

Left cross collisions: Left-turning motorists must yield the right-of-way to oncoming cyclists. Drivers should look carefully and accurately judge a cyclist's speed before turning.

Dooring accidents: Drivers and passengers in parked vehicles should check for cyclists before opening their doors. Dooring accidents are often preventable when vehicle occupants remain vigilant.

Rear-end collisions: Distracted or tailgating drivers put cyclists at serious risk. Motorists must maintain a safe following distance and pay attention to the road to avoid striking cyclists from behind.

Road hazard accidents: Street car tracks, potholes, debris, uneven pavement, poor signage, and other dangerous road conditions can cause cyclists to crash. Municipalities may be responsible for timely maintenance, and drivers should also watch for hazards to avoid swerving into cyclists.

Sideswipe accidents: Motorists passing cyclists must provide a safe distance, as the law requires. Drivers should be patient, wait for a clear opportunity to pass, and never compromise a cyclist's safety.

Right-of-way violations: Drivers must respect cyclists' right-of-way at intersections, stop signs, and crosswalks. Yielding is a legal obligation.
