You may wear a helmet and prioritize safety when you ride your bicycle, but that might not matter if a car or truck driver hits you. The actions of one negligent motorist could leave you with serious injuries and expensive medical bills. It could take weeks or months for you to recover.
When another person inflicts so much hardship on you and your family, you have the right to seek justice. Our Redmond bicycle accident lawyers will handle your claim and fight on your behalf so you can recover compensation for your damages.
At Premier Law Group, when you get hit, we hit back harder. Our Redmond personal injury lawyers have recovered over $100 million for injured accident victims in Washington State. Call today to schedule your free case review and tell us about your bicycle accident.
Don’t Take a Settlement
It isn’t a good idea to take the first settlement offered by the insurance company without first talking with a lawyer. Insurers may seem like they are looking out for you by trying to put money in your pocket as fast as possible. What they are really doing is protecting their bottom line.
You’re injured, you’re not sure what to do next, and you probably don’t know what your claim is really worth. Insurance companies know this, and they’ll try to take advantage of your situation. If they can get you to agree to a lowball settlement, they’re off the hook for a bargain.
Our Redmond bicycle accident attorneys know how insurance companies operate in personal injury cases, and we know how to deal with them. When you work with our firm, you have a legal team with decades of combined experience behind you.
Getting Started on Your Case
We work on a contingency fee basis, which means it costs you nothing upfront to hire our firm. We take our fee only once we’ve recovered money for you. If we don’t win, you don’t owe us a penny. Working this way means our legal services are available to almost anyone.
Our team will investigate your accident to find out how it took place and who is responsible. We aren’t going to take the insurance company’s word for it. We may review accident reports, interview witnesses, request dashcam footage, and evaluate other evidence.
The goal is to identify all liable parties. While it may seem like the other driver is to blame, other parties may also be responsible. For example, if they are commercial drivers, their employer may be held vicariously liable. Or, another motorist may have contributed to the crash.
Compensation in a Bicycle Accident Claim
How much your case is worth depends largely on the extent of your injuries. Some cases are worth thousands of dollars, while others involving catastrophic injuries could be worth millions.
Our bicycle accident lawyers in Redmond will review your economic and non-economic damages and calculate your maximum compensation. We will seek restitution for your hardships from every possible source. We can typically recover compensation for things like:
- Medical expenses
- Projected medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Property damages
- Pain and suffering

Resolving Your Claim
Most personal injury cases are settled out of court. It is usually less costly, less time-consuming, and in the interest of all parties. We’ll negotiate with insurance companies to secure a fair settlement that fully compensates you for all your damages.
While we’d prefer to save you from the stress of civil litigation, if the insurance company refuses to do the right thing even after good-faith negotiation efforts, we aren’t going to back down. We’ll file a civil lawsuit on your behalf and fight for you in court.
Deadlines for Filing a Bicycle Accident Claim
Reach out to our legal team as soon as possible after your accident. According to Revised Code of Washington section 4.16.080, you have three years from the date of the injury to file a civil lawsuit.
While there can be exceptions in specific situations, failing to meet this statute of limitations typically means losing your ability to pursue legal action.
