Bike riding is often a treacherous hobby. Bicycle riders are injured in collisions with other vehicles and trucks every day. Unfortunately, these injuries are typically severe. A bike is, of course, much smaller and more compact than the even smallest sedans. Since most accidents generally happen at intersections, city roads are the riskiest spots to ride.

After a bicycle accident, your first step should be to file a claim. Your insurance company may want to dispatch an adjuster. It’s this individual’s job to determine how much your accident is worth. Their judgment will directly affect your payout. It can be difficult to navigate the waters of insurance water. You’ll want a legal expert on your side, someone with experience handling insurance companies and bicycle-related accidents. You’ll want to call Cyclist at Law.
