Frequently Asked Questions About Bike Accidents

When you are injured in a bike accident, it is easy to feel unsure about your next steps. That is why working with a knowledgeable attorney is crucial. From gathering evidence to dealing with insurance companies, a skilled lawyer can help protect your rights and ensure you receive fair compensation.

At Zisson & Jacobs LLP, we understand how difficult these moments can be. As trusted Boston bicycle accident lawyers, we help injured cyclists throughout the Boston metro area. Our Massachusetts attorneys are dedicated to personalized attention, practical guidance and aggressive representation when it matters most.

What should I do immediately after a bicycle accident?

Following a bicycle accident, it is important to act quickly. Do the following:

  • Seek medical attention even if you feel fine – some injuries are not obvious right away.
  • Call the police and file an official report.
  • Gather information from the scene, including photos and witness contacts.
  • Avoid speaking to insurance adjusters without a lawyer present.
  • Contact a bicycle accident attorney as soon as possible.

These steps can strengthen your claim and help protect your rights moving forward.

What damages can I recover in a bicycle accident claim?

A successful bicycle accident claim may include compensation for the following:

  • Medical expenses (past and future)
  • Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Property damage
  • Emotional distress

Each case is unique, and our lawyers will work closely with you to pursue the full amount you are entitled to.

How long do I have to file a bicycle accident claim in Massachusetts?

Massachusetts law gives victims three years from the accident date to file a claim. However, some exceptions may apply, so it is best to consult with an attorney promptly.

What if the driver who hit me did not have insurance?

Even if the at-fault driver lacks insurance, you may still be able to recover damages through your uninsured motorist coverage. Our lawyers can help you explore all available options.
