Auto-Bicycle Accidents

What Happens after a Bike Accident

A bicycle is no match for an automobile speeding down the road. Despite this fact, bikes and cars must share the same roadways. Bicyclers legally can enjoy most Washington roads. The Jones Firm, in Bellevue, Washington, focuses on representing people and the families of people injured or killed in a car-bicycle accident.

The state of Washington spends a great deal of time and money educating and protecting people against bicycle accidents. No matter how safe bike riders are, few measures can prevent a collision with a careless or distracted driver. To learn more about your right to compensation after a car-bicycle accident injury, contact Attorney Dax Jones, for a free initial consultation.

As a bicyclist, you have a duty to obey all traffic laws. Regardless, you still need additional safety protections. Given the lack of protection against serious injuries, you need motorists who will respect your space on the roadway. Lawyer Dax Jones represents people injured in bicycle accidents caused by dangerous motorists. Some examples of dangerous situations involving bikers and motorists include:

• Motorists driving in the bike lane
• Cars failing to see a bicycle when turning
• People running red lights or speeding
• Motorists failing to yield to bicycles in crosswalks

Given the vulnerability of riders, bicycle accidents frequently result in serious and even fatal injuries. Accidents caused by bike lane traffic violations, or other forms of driver negligence, can cause brain, head, spine, back, and other catastrophic injuries. These injuries can change your life or the life of a loved one forever. You deserve compensation to help cope with these injuries.

Before sending out a demand letter to the insurance company, we will investigate your car-pedestrian accident claim thoroughly and will make sure that our demand letter addresses each of the areas of your life that were affected. We will also take the time to meet with a medical provider capable of assessing your future care needs, if applicable, so that you have the security of knowing that you will receive the compensation your case deserves.
