The last thing any bicyclist ever expects is that they will sustain an injury caused by the careless or negligent actions of another driver on the roadway. Unfortunately, bicyclists are incredibly vulnerable in the event these collisions occur, and severe injuries are often the result.

How Will an Attorney Help a Bicycle Accident Claim in West Virginia?

Bicycle accident cases can become complicated, particularly when the at-fault party’s insurance carrier refuses to offer a fair settlement. When this happens, a skilled bicycle injury lawyer in West Virginia can step in and handle every aspect of the claim on behalf of their client. An attorney can:

  • Conduct an independent investigation into the incident to gather the evidence needed to prove liability
  • Ensure their client is evaluated by a trusted medical professional
  • Handle all negotiations with the insurance carriers to obtain a fair settlement on behalf of the client

Bicycle Accident Injuries Can be Detrimental

Data available from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicates that 846 bicyclists lost their lives during the latest reporting year across the country. Additionally, tens of thousands of bicyclists were injured as a result of the careless or negligent actions of other drivers. Accidents caused by bicycles colliding with other vehicles are often severe. The average passenger vehicle weighs around 4,000 pounds, and the human body is not meant to withstand an impact from this type of force.

It is not uncommon for our bicycle accident lawyers in West Virginia to help clients who have sustained the following types of injuries:

  • Broken or dislocated bones
  • Spinal cord trauma with paralysis
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Internal organ damage or internal bleeding
  • Significant scarring or disfigurement
  • Major lacerations or puncture wounds

Time Limit to File a West Virginia Bicycle Accident Claim

It is crucial to file these claims as soon as possible with the insurance carriers involved. Insurance carriers typically have very strict reporting deadlines, often within a day or two after the incident occurs. Overall, West Virginia has a two-year personal injury statute of limitations in place. If the bicycle accident victim has to file a lawsuit against the alleged negligent party to recover compensation, they must do so within this two-year timeframe, or they will not be able to recover any compensation at all.

Our Case Results

Crushed Foot Injury

While working in Morgantown, WV for a large national retailer, our client, a young woman in her early twenties, was ordered to use equipment that she was not properly trained to use. In the course of attempting to complete her task, she sustained a severe crush injury to her foot. Due to this incident, our client lost full use of this foot for the rest of her life and was living with chronic, persistent pain.

Our firm was able to obtain a sizable settlement which took care of all her medical bills and future treatment for her foot injury. The settlement was ample enough to allow this young woman to go back to college and retrain for employment which will accommodate her permanent disability.

Crushed Leg Injury

Imagine having your leg crushed so badly in an accident that you have to undergo two surgeries to insert multiple pins and have a rod hammered into the bone just to stabilize the femur. Unfortunately, the first rod inserted into the bone didn’t accomplish the desired effect, so the rod had to be removed and surgically reinserted. Imagine the great pain, the months of therapy and recovery, and the frustration of knowing you can never return to the type of work you have performed for decades.

Jeff Robinette was able to obtain a great enough settlement to pay this man’s medical bills in their entirety and money enough to start a new business so he could work and live a productive life even with his permanent impairment.

Brain Injury

While timbering in WV, a heavy equipment operator sustained a permanent brain injury while performing the duties of his job. What price can you put on the loss of a fully functioning, fully reasoning brain? Jeff Robinette was able to negotiate a settlement that was annuitized to provide for this man for the rest of his life.
