FAQ for Bicycle Accident Lawyers
What Are The Most Common Injuries in Bicycle Accidents?
- Head injuries such as concussions and brain trauma can occur despite wearing a helmet.
- Spinal injuries may cause permanent loss of movement or sensation.
- Broken bones, including arms, legs, ribs, and collarbones, are common from impacts or falls.
- Severe skin wounds from scraping the pavement can lead to infections and long-term scarring.
- Internal damage to organs or internal bleeding may require urgent medical intervention.
- Injuries to muscles, ligaments, and tendons can cause prolonged pain and limit movement.
- In extreme cases, limbs may be severely damaged, resulting in amputation.
- Psychological effects such as anxiety, depression, or PTSD often follow traumatic bicycle accidents.
How Much Are Bicycle Accident Settlements?
Every car accident case is unique, and settlement amounts can vary greatly depending on the severity of injuries, the impact on your life, and the insurance coverage available. While some cases resolve for smaller amounts, others involving serious or catastrophic injuries may lead to much larger settlements.
At Oatley Vigmond, our priority is to make sure you receive the full compensation you’re entitled to, for your recovery, your future care needs, and your peace of mind. We’ll review your case in detail and guide you through what to expect.
Do I Really Need a Lawyer After a Bicycle Accident?
You aren’t legally required to hire a lawyer after a car accident, but having an experienced car accident lawyer on your side can make a significant difference. We help you navigate Ontario’s complex insurance system, handle important deadlines, and pursue the full benefits and compensation you deserve.
Even if you don’t feel hurt immediately, it’s important to watch for symptoms of injuries that often appear later, such as whiplash, concussions or other traumatic brain injuries, soft tissue damage, internal injuries, and emotional trauma like anxiety or post-traumatic stress. Having a lawyer ensures these potential injuries are properly documented and addressed, so you get the care and support you need.
What If I Am At-Fault in a Bicycle Accident?
If you were at fault in a car accident, it’s important to know that you still have rights and options. In Ontario, your own insurance policy provides accident benefits that can cover your medical treatment, rehabilitation, and income replacement, regardless of who caused the crash.
However, being at fault may affect your ability to claim additional compensation from others. It can also impact your insurance rates and driving record.
At Oatley Vigmond, we can help you understand your coverage, guide you through the claims process, and advise you on how to protect yourself legally. No matter your role in the accident, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
