Most Common Types of Bicycle Accidents We Handle

In most bicycle crash cases, the blame for the accident is the result of negligence and careless driving by the motor vehicle operator. The most common causes are:

  • Driving in excess of the posted speed limit
  • Running stop signs and red lights
  • Illegal turns
  • Distracted driving
  • Driving while under the influence of alcohol and drugs
  • Sideswiping a bicyclist
  • Crossing into marked bicycle lanes
  • Driving into bicycle lanes, crosswalks, and sidewalks without regard for bicyclists

How We Help Bicycle Accident Victims

The injuries suffered by bicyclists hit by a car are catastrophic and often deadly. Our lawyers assist the victim with all bicycle injury claims from start to finish.

First, the bicyclist is entitled to receive Michigan no-fault insurance benefits. These benefits include payment of medical expenses, lost wages, attendant care services, and other benefits. We will determine which insurance company is liable for these benefits. We then file the paperwork to make the claims and monitor them for payments.

Second, we investigate all possible insurance sources for a bodily injury settlement. This includes determining the insurer for the owner and operator of the striking vehicle as well as reviewing all potential policies for uninsured motorist and underinsured motorist coverage. We locate all possible insurance policies to get the maximum settlement.

In the event of a fatal bicycle accident, we file a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of the surviving family members.

Paying Referral Fees for Michigan Bicycle Accident Cases

We handle all bicycle accident cases on a one-third contingency fee basis. Under Michigan law, we are required to deduct the case expenses from the total settlement amount before calculating our contingent fee. For most bicycle accident cases, we pay the referring attorney a one-third referral fee. We guarantee this fee in writing immediately upon being retained by the client for representation. We also confirm the referral source in our case management software.

Best of all, the referring lawyer is not required to co-counsel the case or perform any work to receive the referral fee.
