Bicycle Accidents
 As fuel costs rise, more
and more people are turning to energy-efficient modes of
transportation including bicycles and scooters. However,
as roads become more congested, there are more auto-bicycle
collisions and fatalities.
Bicycles and scooters may
be more difficult for drivers to see. It’s important to
contact an attorney as soon as possible after a
collision so that an investigation can be started
immediately. We are experienced in this area and work
with experienced accident investigators to determine
what happened by talking with witnesses, examining the
bicycle and taking into account the injuries of the
cyclist.

you may be able to recover damages from the party
responsible for your injuries. We handle cases
