When bicycles share the same roads as cars, the risk of cyclists sustaining serious injuries in an accident rises. As bicycles offer riders significantly less protection than closed vehicles, cyclists in Terre Haute can suffer many common injuries from bicycle accidents.
If you are recovering from your injuries, our skilled bike crash attorneys can help. We investigate the circumstances of your accident and help you seek a fair settlement that fully compensates you for your physical, emotional, and financial losses.
If you are in a car and an accident occurs, you benefit from the automobile’s seatbelt holding you in place, the airbag softening the impact of a collision, and the bumper, trunk, and steel frame acting as a buffer from the collision. Unfortunately, cyclists have nothing to hold them on their bikes or shield them from the impact of colliding cars. Most cyclists wear helmets, yet Indiana law does not mandate them for bike riders, and helmets can only protect against specific types of head and facial injuries. As a result, cyclists in Terre Haute are likely to experience the following types of physical injuries:
Many survivors of bike accidents face challenging and lengthy recoveries. You might need to undergo surgeries, doctor appointments, physical therapy, and rehabilitation. Even with the best possible medical care, you may still experience lingering complications, such as mobility limitations.
Caring for your physical injuries can be expensive. Additionally, while you strive to recover, you may need to take time off work, potentially removing a primary source of income. Working with a skilled legal team is critical, and our attorneys have a proven track record of assisting families who have suffered harm after serious bike wrecks.
Besides leaving you with physical injuries, bike crashes in Terre Haute often result in immense emotional injuries. Coming to terms with your physical limitations (such as paralysis) can leave you feeling lost, overwhelmed, angry, or anxious. Serious bike accidents can cause depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress.
Our compassionate lawyers understand how traumatic it can be to endure a severe bike crash. We can help you seek compensation for all your emotional and mental losses, including pain and suffering, loss of consortium, loss of enjoyment of life, and disfigurement and/or disability. Although these losses are more subjective, our seasoned personal injury attorneys know how to assign a monetary value to your losses to help recover what you deserve. We will work closely with you and your family to learn how your emotional and mental injuries have affected your quality of life.
Bike crashes often have devastating consequences. If you have recently suffered injuries in a cycling accident, our legal team knows how to help. We have successfully assisted individuals like you who have experienced these common injuries from bicycle accidents in Terre Haute.

I have dreamed about writing a book about personal injury law for years. In the past year, I have thought about
the project often. Clearly, I am a procrastinator.
