When a Bike Ride Turns Into a Life Disruption

Bicyclists in don’t always get the respect they need on the road. Unfortunately, negligent motorists can cause severe injuries to local bicyclists. However, there’s relief available if you were recently injured. Instead of paying for medical bills and property repairs on your own, you can work with experienced Dublin personal injury lawyers to help you get the compensation you need.

The Stuckey Firm, LLC’s Dublin bicycle accident lawyers will build a strong case tailored to your needs. With our team, you get direct access and personalized advocacy without bureaucratic layers. Put our over three decades of combined experience to work for you today. Book your free case consultation to discuss your case and potential legal strategies.

Bicyclists Have the Right to Safety on the Road

Every bicyclist on the road in Dublin has the right to ensure their safety while traveling. While there are steps bicyclists should take to improve their safety—such as wearing high-visibility clothing and primarily riding during daylight hours—motorists must remain aware of any bicyclists sharing the road. Motorists who accidentally or intentionally endanger cyclists may face significant legal consequences, especially if their negligence causes an accident.

Bicyclists can work with our bike wreck lawyers in Dublin, OH to hold reckless drivers financially responsible for their recovery. The parties that most often appear in Ohio’s bicycle accident civil cases include the following:

  • Pedestrians
  • Motorists
  • Other bicyclists
  • Motorcyclists
  • Truck drivers
  • Construction crews
  • Government officials

If you are experiencing challenges following your accident, our team can guide you through the necessary steps. We provide detailed guidance on the appropriate actions to take after a bicycle accident and will advocate on your behalf, regardless of the complexity of your case.

We Are Committed to Holding Negligent Parties Accountable and Putting Your Needs First.

Taking Legal Action After a Bicycle Accident

If the person responsible for your recent bicycle accident has insurance, you may have the right to file an insurance claim for financial support. However, insurance claims don’t always consider the extent of your non-economic damages, like pain and suffering. Insurance adjusters will typically work to minimize your claim as much as possible.

If you file a bicycle accident claim before Ohio’s personal injury statute of limitations expires, you can recover the full extent of your economic and non-economic losses. You do not always have to go to trial to get the support you deserve. You can instead work with our experienced Dublin, OH, bicycle accident attorneys to:

Find Evidence of Negligence

You can’t build a bicycle accident claim unless you have evidence indicating that:

  • A liable party owed you a duty of care at the time of your crash.
  • A liable party violated that duty of care intentionally or by accident.
  • Your accident resulted in your injury or financial losses.

The evidence you use to make your case may not look like the evidence someone else uses to fight for bicycle accident damages. Each case is unique. Our team will connect with experienced investigators to determine which kinds of evidence—including photos, witness statements, and environmental damage—bear the greatest weight in your fight for support.

When to Go to Court and When to Negotiate

As previously discussed, filing a bicycle accident claim does not limit you to a specific legal process, whether negotiating or pursuing a court case. You are not obligated to argue for your right to accident compensation before a judge and jury. If you prefer to avoid going to court, you can ask your attorney to arrange private settlement negotiations with the liable party.

Private Settlement Negotiations

Private negotiations take place out of court and allow you to discuss and negotiate your compensation with the party responsible for your recovery.

Securing a settlement can help you meet your recovery needs without going to trial.

When Negotiations Fail

Negotiations do not always resolve peacefully. Sometimes, a liable party may act in bad faith, such as making unreasonable demands, delaying communication, or refusing to acknowledge the true cost of their negligence. In these situations, if negotiations fail, you may proceed by filing a formal complaint with the court; if this has not already been done, you may continue with litigation. Once a lawsuit is filed, the case will proceed according to court rules, which can take some time.

Choosing the Right Path

Deciding whether to pursue a court case or negotiate privately is a critical decision. Each situation is unique, and consulting with an experienced attorney will help you determine the best course of action based on the specifics of your case. Whether through negotiations or in court, our goal is to obtain the compensation you deserve for your recovery.
