The Importance of Hiring an Oceanside Bicycle Accident Lawyer

You may consider moving forward with your bicycle accident claim without the help of an attorney. Like many other bike crash victims, you may assume you will recover compensation for your injuries and damaged bike from the at-fault driver’s auto insurance. This might be true. However, without an attorney by your side, the insurer is more likely to argue you were at fault and deny your claim. Or, if the insurer does not deny your claim outright, it will do what it can to limit how much it pays you. It is important to work with an attorney to reduce the chance of your claim being denied or accepting a low-ball settlement offer. To begin with, our bicycle accident lawyers in Oceanside will thoroughly investigate the crash and gather evidence, including:

• Photos
• Video footage from nearby surveillance cameras or dash cams
• Police and other incident reports
• Eye witness accounts
• Your medical records
• Expert witnesses, if necessary

We will closely analyze the evidence to determine exactly what happened in order to cause the crash. This enables us to build a case against the at-fault party, which we can present to the insurer or in court. Another benefit of working with an attorney is that you can trust that your damages are properly evaluated. We work closely with you to document the full extent of your economic and non-economic injuries. This enables us to demand fair compensation and recognize a low offer when you receive one.
