How We Work to Build Your Bicycle Accident Case

Our Woodbury bicycle accident attorneys offer comprehensive legal guidance and support for our clients. To achieve these goals, we work very closely with the local police and any witnesses to gather evidence that verifies your accident and the details surrounding it. Consider some of the steps we take to ensure you get the support you need through this case:

Gathering Evidence to Prove Your Case

One of the most important components of the work our bicycle accident attorneys do is proving who is at fault and that you did not cause the accident. After your crash, expect our attorneys to gather all evidence available, including:

  • Police reports
  • Witness statements
  • Medical records or toxicology reports of the driver
  • Video and camera evidence
  • Footage from traffic cameras
  • Accident recreation expert testimony.

The more evidence we have to back up your claims, the less likely it is that the insurance company will be able to refute your claims. Expect us to be exhaustive in seeking out this evidence. The sooner you contact us, the better our chances are for finding that evidence.

Proving the Value of Your Losses

A bicycle accident can be incredibly serious if a vehicle hits with any level of force or speed. Even in a minor collision, the accident can result in substantial injuries to you, and that can be terribly worrisome for your long-term recovery. The losses you have from the accident must be proven, to ensure the insurance company takes them seriously. Expect our attorneys to gather all information and evidence about your accident, including:

  • Medical records
  • Documentation of your injuries from your doctor
  • Expert medical testimony about the impact on your physical abilities
  • Expert testimony about the pain and suffering you experienced
  • Documented proof of your inability to work or other losses you incurred
  • Documentation of emotional trauma from the incident.

The more information we have in these areas, the more likely it is that our legal team will be able to fight comprehensively for your right to compensation. Do not wait to get the legal guidance you need. Instead, contact our bicycle accident lawyer in Woodbury for immediate help.

Serious Injuries Lead to Significant Compensation Claims

Bicycle accidents create serious injuries in many situations. You may be eligible for full compensation for any injuries and losses you have from the bicycle accident when the other party is guilty. It is critical to utilize the services of an experienced bicycle accident attorney in Woodbury to explore the types of injuries you have and to determine the extent to which those injuries will impact your future.

Some of the most common serious injuries our attorneys see in bicycle accident cases include:

  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries, including those that lead to paralysis
  • Road rash, often with infection risks
  • Broken and crushed bones
  • Lacerations and deep wounds
  • Amputations
  • Ongoing disfigurement
  • Chronic pain.

These injuries are more than just one-time experiences. Many clients, for example, will heal from wounds to the outer layers of the skin. Yet, when those wounds are deeper, or they become infected due to the damage from the incident, that leads to more extensive care and needs. For these reasons, our bicycle accident attorneys in Woodbury will work to recover damages for all of your medical losses. Some examples of this include:

  • Emergency medical care, including ambulance transport and emergency room services
  • In-hospital stays, often including one or more procedures
  • Multiple surgeries due to complicated fractures
  • Traumatic brain injuries that lead to long-term cognition failures and difficulty with communicating, processing, and focusing
  • Physical therapy and long-term rehabilitation
  • The need for medical equipment and supportive changes to your home or vehicle
  • Limitations on your ability to work
  • Limitations on your ability to enjoy activities you once did
  • Compensation for the wrongful death of a loved one.

According to the Office of Traffic Safety, a Division of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, an average of eight bicyclists are killed annually on Minnesota roads in accidents with motor vehicles. The report (2016-2020) states that the most common cause of bicycle-vehicle accidents is the failure to yield the right of way.

In these situations, the amount of damages you are owed can be complex and hard to understand. However, our bicycle accident attorneys in Woodbury will work extensively to protect your rights to compensation and full recovery of your losses. All you need to do is contact our experienced Woodbury personal injury attorneys and let us go to work for you.

Minnesota Tort Thresholds

There is a threshold in Minnesota personal injury law (Sec. 65B.51) when it comes to recovering compensation for a motor vehicle accident. For you to be able to recover non-economic damages in a bicycle accident claim, you must meet the following thresholds:

  • You have more than $4,000 in reasonable medical expenses.
  • You have suffered total disability for more than 60 days because of the accident.
  • You suffered permanent disfigurement or dismemberment.
  • A loved one died as a result of the Woodbury bicycle accident.

Recovering Damages in Wisconsin

Should you suffer injury in a bicycle accident in Wisconsin, there is no cap on the amount of compensation you can recover. However, because of the state’s modified comparative negligence law, if you were more than 50% responsible for the bicycle accident, you may not be able to recover any compensation.
