Frequently Asked Questions
-
Liability depends on who acted negligently. Motorists are required to share the road safely with cyclists, but drivers often fail to yield right-of-way, open doors without looking, or fail to check blind spots. We thoroughly investigate driver negligence to build a strong fault claim.
-
Common causes include drivers failing to yield at intersections, distracted driving, speeding, unsafe lane changes, dooring incidents (opening a parked car door in front of a cyclist), and hazardous road conditions.
-
In New Jersey, failure to wear a helmet does not prevent you from recovering compensation for your injuries. While helmet laws exist for minors under 17, not wearing a helmet cannot be used by insurance companies to deny your claim or erase driver
-
If you are a victim of a hit-and-run or the driver is uninsured, you may still be able to recover compensation through your own auto policy’s Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage or other state-specific legal avenues. Our team can help navigate these options.
-
You can seek compensation for current and future medical bills, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, repair or replacement of your bicycle and gear, physical pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
-
We gather critical scene evidence, obtain police reports, secure video surveillance, analyze medical records, and deal directly with tough insurance adjusters to ensure you receive maximum compensation while you focus on recovery.
