Every year, countless cyclists are injured in bike accidents in San Jose, some of them seriously. In the event of a collision with a vehicle, bicycles provide little protection for their riders, which often leads to them suffering far more serious injuries than what would be seen in an average auto accident.
Needham, Kepner & Fish is a local law firm with extensive experience helping people injured as a result of bike accidents in San Jose. Our attorneys are able to conduct a thorough investigation to truly determine what happened during an accident involving a motor vehicle colliding with a cyclist.
Negligent Motorists Often Cause Bike Accidents in San Jose
Numerous bike accidents are caused by the negligent actions of a motorist. Some drivers fail to yield to cyclists that have the right of way, drive too close to bicycle riders, fail to properly signal before turning or changing lanes or drive without paying due attention to their surroundings.
Our attorneys are able to independently investigate the cause of an accident. If you were injured in a bike accident that was caused by a negligent motorist, you may be entitled to various forms of compensation for your injuries. This may include compensation for medical bills, time spent off work, as well as pain and suffering.
Our Attorneys Help You Recover Just Compensation
Even in cases where the motorist can be shown to be at fault for the accident, obtaining a fair amount of compensation for your injuries may be a challenge. Insurance companies often pressure accident victims to accept settlement offers that are much lower than what they truly deserve.
