Bicycle Accidents in Oklahoma City

Oklahoma City Personal Injury Attorneys

Bicyclists accounted for 2% of all traffic fatalities and 14% of all non-occupant fatalities in the U.S. in 2008. Although bicycle accidents are a relatively uncommon type of traffic collision, they may cause serious injuries when they do occur. A bicycle and rider stand virtually no chance in the event of a collision with any type of motor vehicle, whether a small passenger car or large commercial truck.

The rider of the bicycle may experience catastrophic, life-changing injuries. Even when wearing a helmet and other protective gear, the rider is likely to be injured even in a relatively low-speed collision. The specific extent of injury, however, will vary depending on the particular incident.

Because bicycle accidents are a type of traffic collision, they often involve dealing with insurance companies. An attorney can help you with these matters by handling all communication with the insurer and negotiating toward a fair settlement. Chances are that the initial settlement you are offered will be insufficient to cover all of your medical expenses and other post-accident damages. With the legal understanding of this topic and the resources to properly investigate your claim, our firm can assist you in recovering fair compensation.
