Bicycle Accidents

Michigan Bicycle Accident Attorney

As a bicyclist, you are at risk from careless and inattentive drivers. Many times motorists fail to pay attention to other vehicles on the road. Given that bicyclists lack the protection that an automobile provides, the injuries you may suffer tend to be serious and life threatening.

At Bredell & Bredell, our attorneys will aggressively seek the medical care and financial compensation you need to recover from your injury. We work hard to examine the cause of the accident, whether the driver failed to yield or it was a hit and run. We use a network of investigators and experts to build a case against the negligent driver and to fully detail the extent of you injuries and life-time cost of your medical care. Contact a lawyer at Bredell & Bredell at our offices in Ann Arbor, or Ypsilanti, Michigan, if you are injured in a bike accident.

Risk of Bike Accidents

One of the first things people learn when getting their driver's licenses is the necessity to yield to bicyclists. Often, drivers seem to have forgotten this simple lesson. Instead of sharing the road, drivers view bike riders and pedestrians as obstacles in their way. Unfortunately, in a pedestrian and bicycle accident, you bear the brunt of the accident.

Insurance Benefits

If you are involved in a bicycle accident with a car or truck, you are entitled to no-fault benefits. This is true even if you do not personally have a policy of no-fault insurance. The appropriate insurance company as determined by law must compensate you for your economic expenses, regardless of who was at fault. We will also file a third party claim against the negligent driver to recover non-economic losses and excess wage loss.
