Bicycle Accidents

At The Law Offices of John Day, P.C. We Fight for the Rights of Bicycle Accident Victims

Bicycles are more popular than ever. They offer an excellent form of exercise as well as an alternative and greener form of transportation, but negligent motorists, defective equipment or poor road conditions can cause tragic bicycle accidents. According to the National Highway Safety Transportation statistics, there are around a dozen bicyclist fatalities in Tennessee every year. And about another 50,000 injured throughout the United States.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a bicycle accident due to someone’s carelessness, our experienced team of bicycle accident attorneys will help you hold the negligent parties responsible regardless of whether the injury was caused by an inattentive motorist, a defective bicycle helmet, a defective bicycle or some other way. For more than 80 years, we have dedicated ourselves to helping injury victims. Our hard work and commitment has resulted in us recovering more than $100 million dollars for our clients.

We Are Your Voice When You or a Loved One Has Been the Victim of an Bicycle Accident

If you or someone you love has been the victim of a bicycle accident, you need our experienced and dedicated bicycle accident attorneys on your side. An early and thorough investigation can tip the scales in your favor. As time passes, physical evidence can disappear and witnesses’ memories can fade so it is critical to gather all relevant investigative materials as soon as possible after the accident. In bicycle accidents, that may mean riding the scene of the accident on a bicycle and in a car so that we can fully understand how the accident occurred. It may also mean interviewing witnesses and investigating police officers regarding their recollections and findings. Depending upon the case, we may also photograph the accident scene, hire accident reconstruction and engineering experts, obtain the police report, gather information on prior accidents and more.

To make sure you receive all the compensation you deserve, we will gather all of your medical and pharmacy records to help prove the nature and extent of your injuries. In appropriate cases, we will also hire doctors, economists, therapists, life care planners and other experts to help prove your case. We have a nurse on staff who can assist with medical questions and issues.

So that you can concentrate on recovering from the accident, we will deal with the at-fault party’s insurance company. The paperwork, phone calls and negotiations can be a real headache, but we know how to handle them. And, if they fail to make you a fair offer, we are not afraid to take them to court.
