How A San Diego Bicycle Accident Attorney Can Help

Victims of bicycle accidents are often at a disadvantage compared to other motorists in that other drivers, police officers and insurance adjustors tend to blame the bicyclist for the accident. In fact, many bicycle accidents are caused by other vehicles violating the bicycle’s right of way. This inherent prejudice against bike riders makes having the right attorney absolutely essential.

When you have an experienced aggressive bicycle accident attorney, insurance companies are far more likely to pay much more compensation, as they know that you have the ability to effectively litigate your case all the way through trial if necessary. This makes a high dollar early settlement far more likely.

Having an experienced attorney gives you a much better chance of proving your case and maximizing its value. Studies have shown that accident victims who are represented by counsel recover more than three times as much on the average as persons who are unrepresented, benefits which far exceed the attorney’s typical fees.

Without representation, professional bicycle accident claims adjusters and defense attorneys will take advantage of your inexperience and lack of knowledge in handling your bicycle injury claim. They do this for a living – you don’t. The knowledge and expertise provided by an experienced bicycle accident attorney will improve your chances at every step along the way.

Bicycle accident insurance adjusters and insurance defense lawyers handle hundreds of auto accident injury claims per year. They know more about what your bicycle accident claim might be worth, how to downplay its strengths and exaggerate its weaknesses. Without the help of an experienced and aggressive bicycle accident attorney, you can be easily taken advantage of well before your claim even goes to court.

If the case does go to court, you are at an even bigger disadvantage. Insurance companies and other corporations know that the court system is run by attorneys and for attorneys. As any judge or lawyer will tell you, you are always better off having an attorney handle your case. The earlier they become involved, the better off your case will be.
