Types of Awards We Will Attempt to Win for You

When our Plymouth bicycle crash injury lawyers represent you, we will seek a financial award in a few different areas. We must determine the correct amount to request because once you agree to a settlement with the insurance company, the claim is over. You cannot request more money later if you find new injuries or if we make an error in estimating the amount to request. We take pride in our accurate estimates of financial awards to request.

Pain and Suffering

A pain and suffering judgment can be the largest segment of a personal injury award after a bike accident that wasn’t your fault. If you suffered serious injuries that will affect your life for months or even years, you could receive a significant amount. Pain and suffering can include hardships like:

  • Emotional trauma
  • Inability to enjoy favorite activities as you did before the accident
  • Inability to sleep
  • Nightmares
  • Ongoing pain from your injuries
  • Disabling injuries
  • Disfiguring injuries
  • Reduction in quality of life

Some people struggle to recover fully from their injuries suffered in a bike accident. If you will have a reduction in strength that lasts for years because of a spinal cord injury, for example, you could receive a larger amount than someone who recovers fully in a couple of months. Our bicycle accident attorneys serving Plymouth, MN, will speak with your doctors to determine your outlook. We then can decide what financial award we should seek related to pain and suffering for these long-term hardships.

Medical Costs

When you did not do anything wrong to cause the bicycle accident and your injuries, you should not have to pay your medical costs. We will pay attention to both the emergency medical care you needed after the crash and an estimate of the long-term medical care you need going into the future. You might need surgeries in the future or prescription drugs to help you deal with the injuries you have.

Missed Wages

If you cannot work after the bicycle accident, you can receive reimbursement for any wages you could not earn. We also can seek an amount for employee benefits you missed out on earning while you couldn’t work. If you must work less in the future or if you must take a lower paying job because of your injuries, you can receive a payment for this hardship, too.

FAQ: Common Questions Our Bike Accident Attorneys in Plymouth Receive From Clients

At Tyroler Leonard Injury Law, we work tirelessly to give our clients the highest level of professional representation. We do not cut corners when working on behalf of our clients. We spend whatever time it takes to prepare for negotiations in your case and to keep you informed about what is happening. We always make our team available to answer your questions about the process. Some of the most common questions we hear include the following:

How much is my bicycle injury accident lawsuit in Plymouth, MN, worth?

Bike accident injury victims typically can win anywhere from a four-figure to a seven-figure award amount. However, it would be unethical for us to promise that you can win a certain amount in your bicycle injury accident lawsuit in Plymouth, MN. Typically, a victim with life-altering injuries could win a larger award than a victim with injuries that heal quickly.

Do I need to hire bicycle accident lawyers in Plymouth for my lawsuit?

Nothing in Minnesota law requires victims to hire bicycle accident lawyers in Plymouth to represent them in an injury lawsuit. However, if you try to represent yourself in the lawsuit, the insurance company may try to take advantage of your lack of experience and offer you a smaller amount than your case is worth. You don’t have the same level of experience as our injury attorneys, so you may not realize you’re receiving a low offer. This is just one of the reasons why you should hire Tyroler Leonard Injury Law.

What if the police report about the bicycle accident blames me as the cyclist?

If the police report blames you as the cyclist for causing the bicycle accident in Plymouth, you might lose any chance of winning an injury claim. Minnesota Statute 604.02 discusses comparative negligence. People who are more than 50% liable for an accident cannot win an award. Our Plymouth, MN, bike injury accident lawyers can represent you, looking for facts that show why the police accident report is wrong and how you were not at fault.

How do bicycle injury accident insurance settlements work?

If you suffered an injury in a crash while riding your bike, you may be unsure how bicycle injury accident insurance settlements work. The insurance company representing the driver who is at fault for the crash can reach out to you and offer you a settlement amount for your financial losses, pain, and suffering. Once you accept that settlement, you cannot request more money later. If you choose not to accept the settlement offer amount, you can take the insurer to trial and sue for a certain amount. Our Plymouth, MN, bicycle accident attorneys can begin representing you at any step along the way.

It’s important for our clients to always understand what is happening in the case. Although our Plymouth bicycle accident attorneys will provide advice about the steps we believe you should take, the final decision about what we do always rests with you. To make accurate decisions, you need to have the latest information about the case and to understand exactly how these cases work. Because we keep you constantly informed about your case, you can count on having the latest information at hand.
