Good News from Wisconsin Bicycle Accident Attorneys

Involved in a bike accident? Our attorneys may be able to help

On behalf of Milwaukee personal injury attorney Ric Domnitz of Domnitz & Domnitz, S.C. posted in Bicycle Accidents on Sunday, August 31, 2014.

Filing a personal injury in a bike accident case can be a time-sensitive matter, which is why we recommend acting quickly to hold the responsible party accountable in civil court. No matter the nature of your injuries, you deserve financial compensation to pay for medical expenses and get you back on your feet — and hopefully back on your bicycle.

Let’s face it: Many drivers fail to pay attention to bicycle riders, even if they are following the law and using designated bike lanes. A motor vehicle accident involving a bicycle can lead to a variety of serious accidents, including traumatic brain injuries — even for those wearing a helmet. Other physical ailments can include lacerations, fractures, spinal cord damage and road rash. More serious conditions resulting from bicycle accidents include potential amputation or paraplegia and paralysis.

Bicycle riders should know that they may be entitled to compensation if they were struck by a distracted driver, a drunk driver or just a negligent driver. Financial compensation may be available for lost wages, pain and suffering and emotional trauma, along with current and prior medical expenses. If you require long-term medical care because of a bike accident that was caused by someone else’s negligence, you deserve financial remuneration.

Recovering financial damages after a bicycle accident is not as simple as filing paperwork and hoping for the best outcome. Instead, it requires a legal team with experience and knowledge about the applicable law and the methods used to estimate injury cost. Bicycle accident victims deserve a fair settlement or judgment to help them regain their health and move on with their lives. We have more information available about bicycle accidents on our webpage.
