It could be the difference between getting what you need or some low-ball settlement. You could be suffering from serious injuries, and you need someone fighting to get what’s best for you and your family – not what’s best for the at-fault driver or the insurance company.

Who is to Blame for the Bike Accident?

Getting hit by a car on a bike doesn’t automatically make the driver at fault. To recover compensation, you have to prove the driver or another party was responsible. It’s your responsibility to show the other party owed you a duty of care but acted recklessly.


We Help You Prove Fault

Proving fault in a bike accident can be hard without an experienced attorney. Fortunately, attorney Marsh has been building strong claims for injured cyclists for over two decades. Let him gather the evidence, witness statements, and more. He’ll get to the bottom of what happened, make it clear that the driver was negligent, and that you’re owed compensation.

What to Expect After Being Hurt in a Bicycle Accident?

No matter the size of the car, if you’re on a bike an accident can cause serious harm. A helmet can help save your life, but it can’t prevent other catastrophic bike accident injuries, including:

  • Lacerations and abrasions
  • Concussion
  • Traumatic brain injury
  • Road rash
  • Broken bones
  • Back injuries
  • Herniated discs
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Partial or complete paralysis
  • Nerve damage
  • Internal organ damage
  • Internal bleeding
  • PTSD

We Demand Max Compensation

A lawyer can’t turn back time and make everything right. All Mr. Marsh can do is help you move forward. He knows you need compensation for your physical and emotional injuries to do that. That’s why he demands you receive all the compensation your legally entitled to for your:

Did You Lose a Relative in a Vehicle-Bicycle Accident?

If your spouse, parent, or child was tragically killed after being hit by a car while riding their bike, call us immediately. You might be entitled to file a wrongful death claim and recover compensation for the value of your loved one’s life, funeral and burial expenses, loss of consortium, and other wrongful death damages. This can’t bring a loved one back, but it can assist grieving families with moving on.

Pursuing a bike accident settlement or lawsuit

After being hit by a vehicle, you likely went to the emergency room right away. Your priority should always be your health and safety. In the days or weeks after the crash, you might get a call or letter from the driver’s insurance company. We recommend consulting a lawyer before talking with the insurer about how much your case is worth and how to get the insurer to pay more.

During the insurance claim process, attorney Marsh will protect your rights with clear evidence that you are owed compensation. He’ll help document your injuries and how they’ve impacted your life to maximize how much you can demand. His goal will always be to get the insurer to negotiate for a higher amount. If an offer is good, he’ll say so. When it’s too low, he’ll fight for what you deserve.

Always Prepare for Court

Most injury claims are resolved through a settlement. But sometimes, you need to go to court. Filing a lawsuit gives you the ability to demand access to additional evidence through discovery. It also forces the insurer to take your claim seriously.

Troy Marsh has over two decades of trial experience. This makes large insurance companies take notice, and when they are forced to hand over documents and contend with an attorney who is ready for trial, it gives you the advantage.
