Get Medical Help Immediately After a Bicycle Collision, Then Call Us
Get evaluated by a medical professional as soon as possible after a bike accident, even if you don’t think you’re hurt. Some injuries, like those to the head, neck, and spine, do not always show symptoms right away. Due to the initial shock of the accident, the adrenaline your body produces, and the sheer nature of some injuries, you might only notice mild soreness or no pain at all immediately. Sometimes it takes hours, days, or even weeks for the severity of bicycle accident injuries to become apparent. If you’ve suffered brain injuries or internal bleeding, delayed treatment could cost you your life. Before you do anything else, you should be seen by a doctor.
Some common injuries people suffer in bicycle accidents include:
- Broken bones
- Permanent scarring
- Spinal cord injuries- sometimes resulting in paraplegia or quadriplegia
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Permanent disfigurement
- Death

Insurance companies often take advantage of bicycle accident victims shortly after wrecks occur. They swoop in before the pain and impact of the injuries set in, start minimizing your pain redirect blame, and then offer quick low settlements to make injury cases like yours go away. Don’t fall for their tactics.

A fast settlement may be tempting at first, and when the insurance adjuster waves a seemingly large check in front of you it may be hard to resist. But keep in mind that recovery from your injuries will likely involve long term medical care and extended absences from work. You may never work again or enjoy the things you did before your accident. You may need special medical equipment, in-home care providers, and medications to help you heal. When the true financial impact of your injuries starts to become reality your losses will probably become enormous and that settlement check will start to seem very small.
Don’t give up your right to recover the money you need. Call us and let’s talk about your options.
