Bicycle Accident Attorney Serving Southern Indiana and Louisville
It is no secret that a bicyclist is vulnerable in any kind of an accident. Drivers, however, frequently do not see a bike rider. Unlike occupants of cars and trucks, bicyclists have little protection when a collision occurs. The force of the impact with a vehicle can cause significant injuries. Roadside hazards can compound the harm. Assumptions about fault, visibility and who was paying attention are often sources of dispute. The knowledge and experience of your lawyer can make a significant difference in the outcome of your bike injury claim.
After representing injury victims for more than 25 years, I have seen firsthand how devastating bicycle accidents can be. Many of these crashes occur because drivers simply fail to see cyclists. Others happen when motorists fail to yield, drive distracted or refuse to safely share the road.
Unfortunately, bicycle accident claims are often more complicated than they initially appear. Questions about visibility, right-of-way, road conditions, and driver attentiveness frequently become points of dispute. Insurance companies may attempt to place blame on the cyclist or minimize the seriousness of the injuries.
The Right Attorney Makes a Difference in Bicycle Accident Cases
After representing injury victims in Southern Indiana and Kentucky for more than 25 years, I understand the challenges injured cyclists face when dealing with insurance companies. Before opening Doane Law Office, I spent several years representing insurers in personal injury cases. That experience gave me firsthand knowledge of how insurance companies investigate claims, evaluate injuries, and attempt to limit their financial exposure.
Today, I use that knowledge to help injured cyclists pursue the compensation they deserve.
A successful bicycle accident claim requires a thorough investigation, careful preparation, and a willingness to stand up to insurance companies. We work to identify all available evidence, including witness statements, photographs, police reports, medical records, and other information that may help establish liability and damages.
