Seattle Bicycle Accident Lawyers
Our Seattle bicycle accident lawyers have obtained record-breaking settlements and verdicts on behalf of our clients. When a cyclist is involved in an accident, especially with involving trucking, the injuries are often more serious and often include spinal cord injuries and even brain injuries. With the exception of trucking incidents, or being struck by an uber/lyft or another well-insured driver, most bicycle riders do not have sufficient personal accident insurance to cover their own damages. So it is important to be able to evaluate any source of potential recovery due to negligence including highway design, premises liability, product liability. The severity of bike injuries and even death is reason to hire our team to help you.
What to Do After a Bike Accident
An injured cyclist or family members should treat the accident similarly to how a car accident is treated. Here are some basic steps to take:
- Call 911 immediately
- Get the driver’s insurance information – vehicle insurance company and policy number
- Get the driver’s license and those of all of the parties involved
- Gather evidence, take photos of the scene, damage to the bike, and injuries you’ve received
