New Jersey Lawyers:
Bicycle Accidents
Some drivers do not watch for bikes, others resent sharing lanes of traffic with non-motorized vehicles. For those and other reasons, New Jersey roads are the sites of thousands of bicycle accidents every year, many of which are fatal.
A cyclist who survives a bicycle accident quite possibly will suffer a serious or catastrophic injury such as a closed head injury or traumatic brain injury (TBI) or a neck or spinal cord injury that results in paralysis or chronic pain. Even a knee, ankle, or shoulder fracture can result in a permanent disability or the need for extensive medical care. Who pays those bills?
At The Law Offices of John F. Marshall our lawyers help victims of bicycle accidents recover maximum compensation. If you would like to discuss your case with a member of our firm, please contact our Red Bank office to arrange a free consultation.
If we accept your case, our attorneys will send you to the right medical professionals, identify all sources of compensation, and begin an investigation into the bike crash. If you were hit by a car, your injuries from the collision may be covered under the PIP or uninsured motorist provisions of your auto insurance.
If your injuries resulted from failure of a bike helmet or other defective equipment, you may be entitled to compensation from the equipment manufacturer through a personal injury lawsuit under product liability law. Your own health insurance will be a source of compensation. Our lawyers will coordinate all claims, with the goal of obtaining for you the maximum benefit.
