Minnesota Bicycle Accident Lawyer
Every day, cyclists are injured in crashes. These injuries are often severe, and can result in ongoing medical needs. As Minnesota bicycle crash attorneys, we have represented hundreds of cyclists over our 27 years in the business. We urge all cyclists who are hurt to seek medical care immediately after the crash. It is easy to assume that your scrapes and bruises are minor and that the bump on your head will heal right up. But that bump may be in indication of further head injury, concussion, and traumatic brain injury. Never assume your injuries are not significant without first being assessed by a medical professional.
A study showed that bicycle crashes result in 580,000 emergency room visits and 900 deaths each year. These numbers are truly staggering. Although bicycle crashes will never be eliminated, more must be done to protect cyclists on the roads. Minnesota bicycle advocacy groups, like BikeMN, are making great efforts to change the infrastructure and laws. They strive to support the rights of cyclists and to protect them from injury. These are all steps in the right direction, but more must be done.
Bicycle Accident Lawyers Serving Rochester, St. Paul, Minneapolis, and Beyond
When you or a loved one are hurt in a bike crash, it is important to seek experienced representation. It is easy to refer to yourself as a bicycle attorney, but few have the level of experience of the Law Firm of Kass & Moses. Bicycle laws are complex, and insurance companies are notorious for attempting to pay out as little as possible. Without an experienced bike crash lawyer on your side, you stand to receive far less than you deserve.
Some injured cyclists make the mistake of accepting a minimal offer from the insurance company. They may feel it is simply not worth the effort to fight for more, or may not be aware that most attorneys work on a contingency basis, with no upfront payments required. Whatever the reason, they often wish they had chosen differently after the fact. They may be left with unpaid medical bills, ongoing expenses for therapies, and uncompensated time away from work. We know that you should not settle for less than what is fair. Contact us to learn more about how we can help you.
