Bicycle Accident Lawyers

Our bike accident attorneys all participate in endurance sports. Matt Meyerkord and Brian Russell both cycle, and Nick Hergott competes in long distance running and paddling.

We understand that juries and society often blame cyclists just for being on the road. That misjudgment stops here.

At MRH Injury Law, we dig deeper because we care what happens to you, and we fight harder because it matters.

Our attorneys are trial-focused litigators who care deeply about the people they represent. With more than 40 years of combined experience, we uncover what others miss, prepare every case for trial, and protect your outcome at every step. We don’t just pursue compensation, we support you through every step of the process while fighting for the maximum recovery you deserve.

Our financial interests are aligned with yours. We don’t get paid unless you do.

Beyond that, we are not a high-volume personal injury law firm. We don’t churn and burn clients. We take only the cases we believe in, and we dig deeper and fight harder to maximize the compensation we recover for each.

We frequently take cases rejected by other law firms and settle them for millions of dollars.

Move to a safe location and check for injuries. Then:

1. Call the police immediately, make sure a report is made and ask for a copy – A police report helps provide objective evidence about how a bicycle accident happened and helps provide important information about the people involved
2. If you are hurt, seek medical attention immediately and do exactly what your doctor or health care provider tells you – Even if you have to go to a free medical clinic, taking care of your injuries and health problems is the most important thing to do after a car accident because you need to understand your injuries and get help for them
3. Save all documents, including the police report, medical records, and repair estimates – Your lawyer will need to collect these documents and if you already have them, your case will move along much quicker
4. If possible, take photographs of yourself and bicycle – Seeing the damage has a big impact on people, including insurance adjusters and juries. This will greatly help your case.
5. Do not sign or agree to anything from an insurance company before you know your rights and speak to an attorney – Sometimes insurance companies will ask you to sign documents that will waive your right to other remedies or invite legal trouble down the road
6. Call our bike accident lawyers as soon as possible – before valuable evidence disappears

At MRH Injury Law, we dig deeper and find source of compensation that other attorneys wouldn’t bother with. We may pursue the following people/entities:

• Driver – if he or she was driving distracted, failed to yield to a cyclist or failed to obey traffic laws, unsafely passed a cyclist, or hit a cyclist with a car door
• Vehicle owner – if the driver was using someone else’s vehicle
• Employer of the driver – if the driver was on the job when the accident occurred
• Manufacturer or maintenance provider – if the accident resulted from a defect in the car or a failure in maintenance such as faulty brakes
• Government entity – if the accident was caused by a road defect or poor road maintenance
• Case-specific entities/parties – for example, if a construction company’s actions contributed to the accident

Each case is unique, but our attorneys are committed to digging deeper and fighting harder to uncover your maximum compensation. We will thoroughly explore compensation for:

• Damage to your bicycle or other property
• Medical bills if the bike accident caused injury including brain injuries, spinal cord and neck injuries, and more
• Lost wages if you had to miss work due to the bike accident
• Pain, suffering, and emotional distress resulting from the accident and/or injuries
• If a bicycle accident is fatal, surviving loved ones may be entitled to wrongful death damages.

How much you get will depend on these 5 things:

1. How great are your losses?
2. How egregious is the liability?
3. Can the wrong-doer pay?
4. Where will you have to file suit?
5. Are you likeable?
