Connecticut is a beautiful state for bicycling. Unfortunately, motor vehicle drivers do not always treat bikers with respect or obey traffic laws. This can result in accidents that are devastating for the cyclist. At Loughlin FitzGerald, P.C., we provide legal advocacy for injured bicycle accident victims. Our New Haven bicycle accident lawyers can pursue justice and financial compensation for your collision using more than 100 years of combined experience practicing law.
A bicycle accident could result in injuries that impact you for life. It is important not to risk your family’s financial future by representing yourself if you have a serious injury from a bike accident. An insurance company may try to take advantage of you and save money on your payout by devaluing your losses. The best way to fight back is by hiring an attorney to represent you during the claims process. Your lawyer will pursue fair and full compensation for your injuries, including trying your case before a jury, if necessary. Hiring a New Haven bicycle accident lawyer is especially important if your injuries will require future medical care.
In Connecticut, the insurance system states that the party responsible for causing a bicycle accident must pay for the victim’s injuries, medical bills and other losses. If you get injured in a bike accident, therefore, one of your first tasks is to determine the cause of the crash. Some of the most common reasons for bicycle accidents in New Haven are:

All drivers in Connecticut must carry minimum amounts of insurance for this purpose. If something other than a driver caused the crash, the biker may be able to file a claim against that person or party, instead.
Proving fault and liability in a bicycle accident case can result in financial compensation awarded to the crash victim or his or her surviving family members. With assistance from an attorney, a claimant could obtain financial compensation for several economic and noneconomic losses:
Discuss the value of your case with a New Haven bicycle accident attorney before accepting an insurance settlement. The first offer might not be fair or adequate according to the extent of your injuries. Our lawyers at Loughlin FitzGerald, P.C. will accurately evaluate your case to determine its worth. Then, we will fight for maximum compensation on your behalf using proven legal strategies.
