Does This Sound All Too Familiar?
“I was out riding after work and had a green light at the intersection. I saw a car slowing on my right as if it would stop, but just as I reached the intersection, the car pulled out in front of me and I hit the side hard. I flew over the hood and ended up with a broken clavicle, cracked ribs and severe road rash. My Specialized S-works bike is trashed. The driver’s insurance company is trying to tell me I’m partially at fault and I’ll have to cover my own medical costs, which included an ambulance and ER visit. They also are giving me grief over the replacement of my bike. Can you help me?
At Craig Swapp and Associates we excel at personal injury law. And we understand cycling as many of our attorneys and staff are active cyclists.
