HENDERSON BICYCLE ACCIDENT ATTORNEY
Bicycle Accidents
The last thing anyone expects when out on a bike ride is to be hit by a vehicle, but unfortunately, bicycle accidents do happen. Bicycle accidents almost always result in devastating injuries and losses, and can leave the victim incapable of living a normal life for some time following the mishap. From missed work to loss of enjoyment of life, the damage of a bicycle accident can have a devastating impact on the way a person lives and their lifestyle overall. If you were involved in a bicycle accident in Henderson, NV, it is important to understand that you do have legal rights, and are entitled to compensation for your losses.
According to the Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center, more than 50,000 bicyclists are injured every year due to a motor vehicle. However, only a small percentage report their accident to the proper authorities, and even fewer pursue an accident claim. Not reporting your accident should never be an option, and at Naqvi Injury Law, we always encourage accident victims to at least consult with an attorney to see what kind of damages they are entitled to. If you were involved in a bicycle accident, you may be surprised to learn that you are entitled to compensation for everything from your medical bills to lost wages to pain and suffering. You will never know though unless you consult with a knowledgeable bicycle accident lawyer.
What to do Following a Bicycle Accident in Henderson, NV
At Naqvi Injury Law, our bicycle accident lawyers encourage victims to start building their case immediately after the accident occurs. What we mean by this is that all accident victims should always be thinking, “If I were to file a claim, what would the adjusters need to know, or what evidence would they need to see, in order to approve my claim? What evidence can I produce in order to maximize my recovery?” The attorneys at our Henderson personal injury law firm advise victims to do the following to prepare their case:
- Contact the police, and get a copy of the police report;
- Identify witnesses and get their information, such as names, phone numbers, and addresses;
- Seek medical attention, and follow the doctor’s orders;
- Avoid talking about your accident to anyone except for your lawyer;
- Have a friend or loved one take photos of your injuries to go along with your medical records;
- Make sure to never miss a single doctor appointment;
- Avoid meeting up with or talking to insurance adjusters;
- Keep a personal record of how you feel in the days, weeks, and months following the accident;
- Keep a record of how your medical care is or is not helping you; and
- Ask your doctor to keep accurate and detailed medical records.
By taking these steps after your bicycle accident, you are helping to prepare your case and ensure a more successful outcome.
Proving Fault in a Bicycle Accident
Nevada is a comparative negligence state, meaning that liability is spread proportionately according to fault. What this means in regards to your claim is that if you were even 10 percent at fault, your claim will be reduced accordingly. If you stood to gain $10,000 in damages, you would only receive $9,000 because of your shared fault. However, if you were 60 percent at fault, you would not gain anything, as the accident was mostly your fault. Because Nevada is a comparative negligence state, it is imperative that you are able to prove that the driver was mostly, if not completely, at fault for the bicycle accident. But how can you prove that?
At Naqvi Injury Law, our bicycle accident lawyers are adept at gathering the necessary evidence on behalf of our clients to ensure that they are not held liable for a driver’s recklessness and negligence. When you work with us, we will advise you on exactly what documents you need to produce to help us help you. For example, a single eyewitness testimony can disprove an error in the police report, an error that would have put you at the majority of fault. That is why it is so important to work with a knowledgeable attorney, one who can help you identify possible obstacles and advise you on what you need to do to prevent them from becoming a problem.
