Bicycle Accident Lawyers in Phoenix, Arizona

Many people all over the country ride bikes everyday. With rising gas prices, a bicycle has proven to be an economical way to travel. However, with millions of people and cars in the Phoenix area, bike accidents are bound to happen. If a bicyclist is struck by a car while riding his or her bike, this impact can cause serious injuries or even Wrongful Death.

Even with proper safety equipment and safe drivers, a bicyclist can become injured by improperly designed bike lanes or a general defect in the bicycle itself. While riding a bike, a bicyclist's body is greatly exposed to serious injury from any auto accident that could occur.

Bicycle Accident Consequences

A negligent motorist can cause great damage to a cyclist. Such damages may include the following:

• Extensive medical bills
• Loss of income
• Permanent Disfigurement
• Permanent Impairment
• Psychological Trauma
• Severe Physical Injury
• Back Injury
• Brain Injury

Claims Involving Minor Children

When a minor (someone under 18 years of age) has a personal injury claim, in many cases, there is an extra set of procedures that apply to protect the interests of the minor. Specifically, the minor, usually through their attorney, will petition the probate court for approval of the minor settlement. This includes the amount of the settlement, the medical expenses to be paid from the settlement, the attorney's fees and costs, and the net settlement for the minor claimant. A more detailed explanation of this process is explained on our Minor Child Injury Pages.

Claims against Government Agencies or Public Entities

When a government or public employee or agency is negligent and causes an injury, there is a markedly different process involved as compared to a claim against an individual or private business. There is a much shorter time frame to bring a claim and a lawsuit. Therefore, there is an increased urgency to obtain legal counsel to timely submit a claim against a government agency or public entity. A more detailed explanation is available on our Government or Public Entities Claims Pages.

Litigation Process

We are able to resolve the overwhelming majority of our cases relatively promptly and without ever having to go to court.
