Bicycle Accidents

Yes. Many states follow comparative negligence rules, which means fault can be shared. If you were partially responsible, your recovery may be reduced by your percentage of fault, but it is not automatically eliminated. At The Popok Firm, our affiliated attorneys look closely at the facts to limit how much blame is shifted onto you and to keep the focus where it belongs.

A hit-and-run does not end your case. There may still be paths to recovery, including uninsured motorist coverage (insurance that applies when the at-fault driver is unknown or doesn’t have sufficient coverage). Our network of attorneys will investigate available coverage and, where possible, identify all possible responsible parties to maximize sources of recovery.

Damages include both economic losses (medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages) and non-economic losses (pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life). In serious cases, future medical care and diminished earning capacity may also be part of the claim. The goal is to account for the present and future impact of the injury, not just what shows up on a bill.

Claims involving poor road conditions or defective infrastructure can involve a government entity. That introduces additional rules, including shorter notice deadlines and specific filing requirements. Our network of attorneys helps preserve your rights even in complex cases.
