Alecos Orountiotis & Associates Will Get You The Compensation You Deserve
The last few years, the percentage of bike users has been increased. Cyclists are classified as vulnerable road users due to a) the limited protection while sharing the road with cars and b) the increased risk of casualties compared to vehicle users.
It’s every cyclist’s worst scenario to be involved in an accident with a car but unfortunately it’s happening with increasing frequency. According to the European Transport Safety Council, 83% of all cyclist deaths in the European Union are the consequence of an impact with a motor vehicle.
At Alecos Orountiotis & Associates we know that when accidents occur, the bicyclist always have significant injuries.
Bicycle injury cases often turn on the issue of who was at fault in the accident.
If you had a cycling accident due to someone else’s negligence, you should get an experts’ advice since you might be entitled to compensation. You could receive compensation for your pain and suffering, as if you were involved in an ordinary car accident (you can claim for your medical expenses, lost wages, bike and protective gear damage, etc).
In case of accident follow these steps:
- Contact the police at the scene
- Get medical help if needed
- Get the driver’s contact, insurance information and car registration number.
- Take pictures of the scene. Pictures and videos are the best way to preserve evidence.
- Keep a detailed file. Your file may contain copies of your medical bills, pictures of the accident, a journal of how your injuries have impacted your life, and any other documentation of your accident or resulting injuries.
- Contact an experienced lawyer.
