Drivers have a legal obligation to share the road; when they don’t meet that obligation, cyclists can be seriously hurt. Your life may be changed for a long time due to the injuries you’ve sustained. The bicycle accident attorneys at D’Amico & Pettinicchi, LLC will advocate for your legal rights.

When motorists cause bicycle accidents, they must be held accountable

“I didn’t see him or her” is not an excuse when people are severely injured or lives are lost. It is the responsibility of every driver to watch the road carefully and look out for others, particularly vulnerable road users, such as cyclists. We represent cyclists injured in all types of accidents. Some examples are: 

• Doorings
• Left cross
• Right hook
• Rear-end

Since a person on a bicycle has very little protection from impact, a bicycle accident can cause serious injuries, including brain injury, spinal cord injury, permanent scarring, fractures, and internal injuries. That’s why it’s so important to seek full compensation and accountability.

ATTORNEYS WHO FIGHT HARD FOR INJURED CYCLISTS

When you contact us, we’ll listen empathetically to your side of the story and seek to understand the full impact the accident has had on your life. We’ll launch our own investigation to get to the bottom of what happened and gather the evidence needed to prove your claim. The insurance companies take bicycle accidents seriously, and so do we, because we understand it’s not a case; it’s your life.

Throughout the process, we’ll deal with the insurance company on your behalf, keeping you informed and giving you space to heal. We’re often able to settle these cases out of court, but we’re always prepared to go before a judge and jury, including preparing for trial in our in-house courtroom. You can depend on us to be your relentless advocates from start to finish.

Remember, you need to act quickly to protect your rights in the wake of a bicycle accident, before evidence disappears and important legal deadlines expire. Contact us today for a free, confidential consultation with a Connecticut bicycle accident attorney.
