Your Lawyer Will Investigate Your Accident
A lawyer from our team will investigate the circumstances of the crash, collecting evidence like witness statements, photographs, surveillance footage, and paper trails that point to the contributing factors that led to your injuries.
It is possible that multiple parties are at fault for what happened. You may need to sue not only the driver who struck you but also others without whom you would not have been injured.
For example, if you are struck by a drunk driver, you may sue both the driver and the bar that served them. Only after reviewing your case will your lawyer be able to give you a better idea of your financial recovery options.

Your Lawyer Will Assemble a Case
With evidence in hand, your lawyer will use their experience handling bicycle accident cases and their knowledge of the law to build the strongest possible case on your behalf. To build a case, they will need to show that the driver who hit you owed you a duty of care to drive safely and that they failed to do so due to their negligence.
Some forms of negligent driving that can serve as the basis for your case are as follows:
- Drunk and drug-impaired driving: Drivers under the influence of drugs or alcohol may have impaired judgment, senses, and reflexes. They may struggle to see and respond to bicycles and may also be more likely to engage in other risky driving behaviors.
- Drowsy driving: Fatigued drivers also have dulled senses and reflexes, much like drunk drivers. They may even nod off at the wheel, endangering themselves and other drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians.
- Aggressive driving: Aggressive driving includes things like road rage and reckless driving behaviors like speeding, weaving in and out of traffic lanes, tailgating, and ignoring traffic signals.
- Distracted driving: Anything that takes a driver’s attention away from the road can be a distraction. This includes texting, calling, reading, adjusting a GPS device or radio, looking at a map, eating, and anything else that distracts the driver from their duty—driving safely.
Passenger vehicles and trucks have a responsibility to the motorcyclists and bicyclists with whom they share the road. Even though they are bigger, they still need to drive in a safe way so that those on smaller vehicles, like bikes, are protected.
When they fail to do so by engaging in reckless behaviors like those above, they may be held liable for the injuries their negligence causes.

Your Lawyer Will Take Your Case to Trial if Necessary
If the insurance company refuses to pay you the money you are owed, then your lawyer will take your case before a judge or jury to advocate for your rights. They will present your case and argue for the compensation you deserve. Sometimes the case will settle once a trial begins, while other times, it goes through to verdict.
Either way, your lawyer will work with the aim of getting you the money you need. Since your Brookhaven bicycle accident lawyer from Bader Scott Injury Lawyers works on a contingent fee basis, meaning they do not get paid until you do, they have every reason to not settle for less than you deserve.
