Terre Haute Bicycle Accident Lawyer

Even the most experienced cyclists cannot avoid accidents caused by distracted, aggressive, or impaired drivers. And because bicycles offer little protection to riders, crashes often result in severe injuries, or even death. If you’ve been injured in a bicycle accident, you deserve a law firm that understands the risks you face on the road. At Fleschner, Stark, Tanoos & Newlin, we have several avid cyclists on our legal team. Attorney Tom Newlin has completed four cross-country bike rides and logs thousands of miles every year. Attorneys TC Newlin and Steve Fleschner have ridden extensively and have competed in triathlons, including multiple Ironman races.

From our experience as cyclists, we know many drivers are safe and courteous, but some drivers simply don’t like bike riders and don’t want to share the road. Our Terre Haute bicycle accident lawyers realize bike riders are often ignored, harassed, and endangered by drivers with road rage or who simply don’t want to slow down and pay attention while passing a cyclist. Like many of you, we have been run off the road by drivers who are texting or talking on their cell phones. We have been involved in bike wrecks, and our trusted personal injury attorneys know how important it is for cyclists and vehicle drivers to ride and drive responsibly.

With more than 45 years of experience fighting for injury victims in Terre Haute and throughout the state of Indiana, it’s our goal to help you get the best possible results for your claim. You won’t owe us a dime unless we get money for you.

Common Bicycle Accident Injuries

Bicyclists involved in collisions with cars or trucks can face not only painful road rash, but also severe injuries, including:

  • Bone Fractures: Motor vehicles, barriers, and road surfaces can break bones during an impact.
  • Soft Tissue Injuries: Muscle and tendon damage, cuts and bruises, and permanent scarring can result from a bike crash.
  • Traumatic Brain Injuries: Blows to the head during a bicycle accident can cause permanent, irreversible brain damage—even when a bike helmet is worn.
  • Wrongful Death: According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, hundreds of cyclists are killed in bike accidents every year.

If you’re facing medical bills, lost wages, or pain and suffering after a bicycle accident injury, Fleschner, Stark, Tanoos & Newlin wants to help. Our Terre Haute bike accident attorneys can handle the insurance company, so you can focus on getting better.
