If you were injured in a bike accident, you should speak to an experienced personal injury lawyer about your rights. You may be able to recover financial compensation for damages, including pain and suffering, medical expenses, lost wages or income and property damage.
Contact attorney Noël M. Ferris. She has over 30 years of experience practicing law. She offers a free initial consultation to discuss your case and explain how she can help.
Bike Accident Injuries
Because of the lack of protection bikes offer, accidents involving bicycles can result in extremely serious injuries, including brain injuries, back and spinal cord injuries, fractures and internal injuries. Even bicyclists who wear a helmet, use a bike light, wear reflective clothing and obey all the traffic rules are still at risk.
When the injuries are serious, the attorney who represents you must understand how to handle catastrophic injury claims. Ms. Ferris has successfully resolved large, complex personal injury claims worth millions of dollars. One of her bike accident cases involved a triathlete who was killed by a driver while biking.
Ms. Ferris is not only a skilled attorney. She is the mother of a child who was hit by a drunk driver in a hit-and-run accident. She understands the trauma people suffer when drivers are negligent.
