Legal Support for Bicycle Accident Survivors – 1-800-JUSTICE®

Bicycle accidents in Alberta can lead to severe injuries, including broken bones and brain injuries, due to the lack of protective structures for cyclists. Common causes of these accidents include distracted driving and car doors opening into cyclists. Many cyclists may not realize they are entitled to insurance benefits that cover treatment and income loss for up to two years following an accident. At Preszler Injury Lawyers, we assist clients by conducting thorough accident investigations, ensuring they receive necessary medical treatment, and pursuing full compensation for their losses. We emphasize the importance of understanding clients' rights and the long-term implications of their claims. For more information on bicycle claims, contact Preszler Injury Lawyers at 1-800-JUSTICE.

Bicycle accidents in Alberta can have serious consequences for cyclists. Being hit by a 1,000-pound car or a 2,000-pound car moving at high speed can cause broken bones, spine injuries, brain injuries, and many other serious injuries. Unlike cars, bicyclists do not have a metal frame to protect them.

We know that distracted driving or opening a car door into a bicyclist who is cycling by are two of the most common kinds of bicycle accidents we see. Many bicyclists are not aware that they have access to insurance benefits when they are hit by a car. They have access to accident benefits to cover treatment expenses for two years. Additionally, they have access to accident benefits to cover income loss for two years after the accident if they cannot work. In fact, these benefits can pay up to 80% of lost income.

Bicyclists can also start a legal claim for pain and suffering, medical expenses, and income loss beyond the two-year mark. At Preszler Injury Lawyers, we help clients in three main ways when it comes to bicycle accident claims.

First, we conduct a full scene and accident investigation to determine who is at fault and to ensure that evidence is preserved. We want to protect our clients' rights, which means gathering all of the evidence that exists to prove their claim.

Second, we work to get our clients the treatment they need. We want our clients to get better.

Third, we seek to recover every penny of compensation available, including every single dollar of income loss and every out-of-pocket medical expense. We want that money returned to our clients, and we also want to ensure that they receive fair compensation for pain and suffering damages.

Our concern is not just about how our clients are doing now, but also how they will be doing ten years from now. We understand that some injuries can worsen over time. It is important to note that clients can only settle their case once, and that settlement must take into account the entirety of their claim, including how it will impact the rest of their lives.

We also recognize that our clients need proper information. They need to understand their rights so that when they make a decision on settlement, it is an informed and empowered one.
