Bicycle Accident Attorney in Greensboro

The City of Greensboro and the surrounding communities throughout North Carolina are becoming more cycling-friendly. Bicycle lanes on streets are common, as are routes that utilize both greenways and roadways. However, when bicyclists collide with motor vehicles, the results can be devastating. Even when bicyclists wear helmets and follow safety rules, they often end up with extensive injuries from an accident.

A bicycle accident can leave a rider with catastrophic, life-altering injuries. When a bike rider is involved in an accident caused by a negligent or reckless motorist, that motorist should be held accountable. The injured rider should get financial compensation for any injuries and damages.

We will provide a no-cost initial case evaluation by phone, in person, or online.

How Our Greensboro Bicycle Accident Attorneys Can Help You

Investigate the Accident to Help Determine Fault

The experienced personal injury team at Ward Black Law will thoroughly investigate the accident scene. We will review records and other information to help determine if the driver of the vehicle was at fault. Our lawyers will:

• Gather witness statements.
• Review police and accident reports.
• Visit the accident scene.
• Inspect and document any damage to the bike.
• Investigate the driving history of the motorist.
• Review medical records.

Handle Conversations with Insurance Companies

Many bicycle accident victims agree to give a statement to the insurance company shortly after the accident without understanding what is at stake. The insurance company may lead them to believe that settling the case quickly is in the cyclist’s best interest.

Being out of work due to injuries may feel overwhelming, and the settlement may seem like a good idea. However, an attorney can help you make a complete list of items that should be included in any settlement or award. This list may include:

• Both initial and ongoing medical expenses. It may take time for you and your doctors to understand the full extent of your injuries. In addition, many accident victims need to complete several sessions of physical or occupational therapy before healthcare providers can determine how long rehabilitation should last.
• Loss of income and, in some cases, loss of future earning potential.
• Pain and suffering.
• Diminished quality of life in the case of permanent physical impairment.

We look at each of these factors with every bicycle accident case. We advocate for full compensation for victims and families in every case we handle.

Help You Navigate Medical Bills and Finances

Ward Black Law genuinely cares about our clients and their families. That’s why we help you navigate any financial barriers caused by your bicycle accident. That may include medical bills and other expenses that arise when you cannot work. You may be an accident victim with injuries, or you may have a loved one who died in a bicycle accident. In either of those cases, we can take the stress off your shoulders so that you can find time for healing.

Handle Your Case Without Requiring Any Money Up Front.

If you have questions about the legal process in your case, you can speak with one of the experienced legal team at no cost. If you decide to proceed with your case, we will handle things so you don’t have to. You do not have to pay any money upfront. We are paid from any settlement or award you may receive. We work on a contingency fee basis ─ which means we receive a portion of your settlement when you resolve your case, instead of you having to pay by the hour for our work.

If for any reason you do not receive compensation, we will not charge for our work. You will owe no attorneys’ fees whatsoever if we are not successful in resolving your case.
