Your Body is No Match for a 4,000-Pound Vehicle
When a motorist fails to share the road, the bicyclist always pays the highest price. Unlike drivers protected by steel cages and airbags, cyclists are completely exposed to the force of impact, often resulting in life-altering brain injuries, spinal trauma, and complex fractures. We understand that your recovery is about more than just medical bills; it’s about rebuilding your life after a catastrophic collision.
Fighting the “Blame the Cyclist” Strategy
Insurance companies frequently attempt to pin the blame on the bicyclist to avoid paying claims under Virginia’s strict contributory negligence laws. Our firm uses over 40 years of experience and specialized accident reconstruction to prove that the driver’s negligence was the sole cause of your crash.
- Failure to Yield: Holding drivers accountable for cutting off cyclists at intersections or during turns.
- The Three-Foot Rule: Pursuing motorists who violate Virginia law by failing to maintain a safe 3-foot passing distance.
- Dooring Accidents: Suing negligent drivers who open their doors into the path of an oncoming cyclist.
- Distracted Driving: Identifying motorists who were texting or not paying attention to the bike lane.
Who is Liable for Your Bicycle Injury?
A successful claim requires identifying every party responsible for the accident to ensure you receive the maximum compensation allowed by law. We investigate beyond the driver to secure the financial future your injuries require.
- The At-Fault Motorist: Pursuing the driver’s liability insurance for medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
- UM/UIM Coverage: Using your own auto insurance policy to provide protection if the driver was uninsured or fled the scene.
- Commercial Entities: Holding companies liable if their employee hit you while operating a delivery van or company car.
- Manufacturer Liability: Suing for damages if a defective bicycle component or faulty vehicle part contributed to the crash.
